OT, yet again.
We were speaking about a small business owner not your wife in a hospital.

What is it you MEANT to say then? Please break it into small words since I obviously am misunderstanding. You said "If the owner is basing his hiring decisions on how much aftertax money he posseses....". What should I interpret from it? The way I see it, you think it is clear cut. Either you base your hiring on how much aftertax money or you don't. I am saying that you are correct that such person is a moron if that is ALL he bases the decision on. Are you saying that the aftertax money will never enter the picture AS A FACTOR, not the "dealbreaker"? Note, I agree with you that it probably will not be the dealbreaker. What I am saying is that you feel it is NOT going to be a factor and I am saying that it could be a FACTOR.
How so?
It is an example of how the hospital trims it's staff and still can not get itself into problems. Of course, unless you believe this move the hospital made and the fact that they lost a major contract and had a hiring freeze is purely coincidence. How does it apply to a small business? Like I said, what if I decided that instead of hiring someone else to replace this guy I am firing or quit, I decide to spread the load to others and myself so I can take home a few bucks more?
