I was torn on the title. "Obama’s Tax American Job Creators Act" almost got the gig. But while this is a massive tax on job creators, one provision in particular won the day when it comes to keeping people unemployed, something you might think counter-productive in a Jobs bill.
Investors Business Daily Explains…
How do you get jittery businesses to hire? Threaten to sue them if they hire someone who already has a job! At least, that’s how the White House thinks. It stuffed in a provision to make it illegal to "discriminate" against the unemployed when hiring.
So the beautiful people in Obamaville are making it a crime if you do not hire someone who is not currently employed. And this intimidation is supposed to incentivize them into hiring workers?
OK. If I need to fill a job, anyone who applies who is not hired, and happens to be unemployed, could potentially sue me for worker discrimination. How does that work if three hundred unemployed people apply and you only hire one of them? Can the other 299 hire a lawyer? And what if 300 people apply and the only one remotely qualified has a job and is looking for change they can believe in? The employer can’t hire the person they want or need because one or all of the other applicants might call the government on them?
How, please liberal geniuses, does that incentivize job creation?
It doesn’t. It stops it dead in it’s tracks.
So this is "Obama’s Keep Americans From Having Jobs Act"
