Nice, TC. I'm sure your awesomely successful business provides good and affordable health care to all your employees, so Obamacare is unnecessary, right? Somehow I doubt it...

Hey TC, what is it exactly that you do?

Well, he's said before that his company is exclusively online and he's just hired a "young lady", so...

*chuckle*

*still chuckling*

I would actually pay good money if somebody could drop TC's dox for me. Get to work people!

So what you're saying is that the employer's payroll tax responsibilities can increase without creating a disincentive to hire?

Ha ha ha! Wow, I'm honestly beginning to believe that this guy is actually a bot.

Abgemacht, please find any post by me where I've ever said my company is exclusively online?
It's pretty obvious you consider yourself an authority on everything I've posted on this site since you posted "he's said before that his company is exclusively online...'
Pretty creepy that your life is so empty you keep track of what I post, and it's really disturbing you can't even do that accurately.

I wonder why President Obama doesn't ask Congress to make the payroll tax cut permanent?
Is the object of the payroll tax cut to create jobs?
Or is it just cheap election year grandstanding to buy votes?
Shouldn't job creation be the number one task of the President?

TC, I believe he was only trying to make...a joke...take one yea?

You run an online research company, no? I guess it doesn't have to be "exclusively online", but for the sake of my joke, I was willing to misrepresent you slightly.

No Abgemacht, my partner and I own a consulting firm. We have an office with six employees, including the two of us.
Here is an example of what we do.
Through the grapevine we found a municipality that wanted to reduce the costs of streetlight maintenance and improve public satisfaction with the service.
We put in a bid to fix the problem for the municipality that they accepted.
We then presented them with a solution that put their process online.
We hired a web designer to put together a website mockup that would allow citizens to report burned out street lights online, gave the citizen a estimated time of repair, and alerted the municipalities street department.
We also paid another consulting firm to put together software that automatically synchronized the incoming street light repairs with existing orders.
We made money all the deal for all involved.
The municipality saved significant funds. The web designer received work. The software company received work. We made money to pay our rent and make payroll.
We did all the research and most of the subcontracting online.

That's what my company does, and has been doing for over a decade out of a great location on some unincorporated land near Calabasas, CA.

Still curious about TC's company's healthcare plan. I bet it's AWESOME.

i wonder how much really was reduced the cots of the streetligth and how much the municipality is paying for the service
why cant they do it without hiring an outside consulting office?
are the municipalitys all around the world unefficient

Taos, the reduction of handling the entire process automated and online was a huge savings for the city.
How do you buy music Taos? Do you go online and buy a song at itunes, get what you want, and enjoy it right now or do you hop in the car drive to a Tower Records (I'm assuming you are old enough or well traveled enough to know what a Tower Records Store is).

We saved the city a ton of money keeping them by eliminating the administrators necessary to oversea the program, along with office space for them, etc. etc.

Computers make everything more efficient. The lights get fixed faster too.

If everyone was bright and could think of these solutions then why don't they?
My company is overwhelmed with work right now.

Taos, take a basic business class in college as well as a business finance class.
My companies fee, the computers, the installation, the software, the website design and the rest cost less than one year of a senior administrators salary with benefits.
None of it was cheap either. Just one administrator in a city job can cost between $75,000 and $100,000 a year when you look at salary, medical, expense accounts, phone, travel, retirement beneits, and payroll taxes.

You don't pay any of those expenses on computers and software, and you only pay for them once and they last for a long time.
