    what's it mean and how do you pronounce?
    "toy'-full-hoond", "devil-dog", in German. I suspect a link to the USMC.

    Don't forget that increase in labor cost translates to higher retail price which then may drive more consumers to buy other cheaper chicom products. Then to compete, we are forced to move the operation/production activity to India/China... So what drives outsourcing again?

    Kinda curious where in the timeline you expect the costs to go up, and why you added to the unemployed ranks before that happened.

    LOL

    A brief etymology and German lesson:

    Teufelhund, pronounced (Toyful-hoont), is Devil Dog in German. It is a nickname Marines use for each other, originating from the Battle of Belleau Wood, in which the Marines attacked and drove back a numerically superior German force with such ferocity the Germans referred to the attacking Marines as Teufelshunde, or Hounds of Hell.

    Teufel = Devil
    Hund = Dog

    Similar to English, when forming a compound noun in German, the two words are combined. (e.g. toothpaste).

    The plural of Hund is Hunde. When combining plural nouns in German, a connecting "s" is used. Devil Dogs in German is Teufelshunde (pronounced Toyfuls-hoont-eh). Yes, the Marines have been saying it wrong for years; they say it is Teufel Hunden (and they pronounce it Tooful-Hun-den). The "en" suffix is only applied in the conjugation of verbs; it is not used with nouns.

    Obamacare passed, go read the document and understand it before you ask stupid questions. I get that your a liberal and there is no use in arguing with someone who has no understanding of business. I chose adding to the unemployment ranks rather go out of business. Its called self-preservation, something you liberals lack.

    Also the link is not working for me, but dont bother trying to "educate" me, I am the one who writes the check so no matter how much sunshine you try to blow up my ass, it will never cover the truth of the matter.

    Chunky Monkey is talking about "Maintaining the style of living" they currently enjoy. I have friends who refuse to drive anything less than a $70,000 car. They feel they earned that through their hard work and taking risks. Who the hell is anyone else to tell them they can't reap the fruits of their labor? I thought this was America... You want nice things, you earn them, fvck anyone who wants to take that away from you!

    Per my CPA -
    Medicare payroll taxes increases in 2013 from 1.45% to 2.35% for $250000 joint income or 200k single. Also the Investment side will be 3.8%.

    2014 onward, Small business health insurance tax kicks in, this is where business owners will be hit by the insurance cost increases.

    Moreover....
    Employer mandate kicks in. Some business owners must provide insurance, pay penalties or even both! If you have 50 or more employees and do not offer insurance, the penalty is $2000 per full time (whoops everyone gonna be working part time then). In addition for >50 employees firm like myself, we must provide voucher to contributes toward employee's premium (employee's GAI is under 400% of federal poverty line)

    Then you have to sum up part timers toward full time. In addition there are automatic enrollment for those with 200 workers or more. All these will increase premium.

    No offense to those who are in the insurance business, but insurance companies still cannot compete beyond state border, so this will only strengthen their monopoly and price fixing!!!

    Now do you know how many businesses who are barely hanging on? Probably as many as folks who live paycheck to paycheck due to the current economy. I suspect mid of 2013 to beginning of 2014, we will see many businesses falling out.
