Who says the Unaffordable Care-Less Act doesn't work?:
While ObamaCare was [purportedly] implemented to help the little guy, that hasn't been the case, according to a study from the American Action Forum, a center-right think tank.
The report found that the [Una]ffordable Care[-Less] Act is cutting small-business workers' pay by at least $22.6 billion a year. And it calculates that ObamaCare has eliminated 350,000 jobs. The study defines a small business as one that employs 20 to 99 workers.
"The relationship between rising premiums and lower pay was already well known in academic literature," the report states. "Our research simply measured how the {UCLA] has affected the relationship between health-insurance premiums, small-business wages, and employment."
Which means, of course, that ObamaCare was not implemented to "help the little guy," but to enslave him in perpetuitous welfare servitude. To destroy the middle class - which is the enemy of collectivism - and create the classic socialist utopian two-caste society: the ruling Party elite, courtiers, posses, and hangers-on (typically about 10%), and everybody else living in dependent, oppressed squalor. Where everything is "free," and you damn well get what you pay for, because you can't afford anything else.
It may interest you to know that I spent my entire accounting career working for small businesses, and that large corporate entities, for whatever reason, never liked me or kept me around in the instances when my small business employer was acquired by a bigger outfit. But when I was chewed up and spat out, or laid off, or my employer went toes-up, there was always another job to be had, because this was America, and the U.S. economy was free and vibrant and overflowing with small business opportunities.
That was then. A year ago, the small business which I had served for over a decade "corporatized" and swiftly politicked me out the door, though not after my having to endure three months of unrelenting abuse, harassment, and persecution first. With the lone exception of six days in early March, the terminus of which baffles me to this day, even with lingering, irresolvable suspicions, I have not had a single interview with any company that isn't either (1) huge or (2) "corporatizing" in that direction. Consequently, I am still "involuntarily retired," and have no reason to believe I won't stay that way.
There are several different deserving blame recipients - and no, I'm not entirely excluding myself in that allocation - but ObamaCare is the reason why the continuation of my small business accounting career is proving no longer viable, because there are no new small businesses being created, those that do exist are having to "corporatize" to survive the Regime's viciously hostile, suffocating regulatory onslaught, and there are hordes of idle, forgotten workers just like me fighting like rabid wolves for each and every scrap and crap opening no matter where it comes from.
McDonalds founder Ray Croc - well, he wasn't the founder, but he's the one who took the Golden Arches global - had a saying about business competition (paraphrased): "When you see your competitor drowning in the middle of a lake, grab a hose, run to the nearest boat, row out to him, take the hose, jam it down his throat, and turn it on full blast." William Wayne Zimmerman III threw me off the metaphorical cliff, but it's Barack Hussein Obama II and his "crowning achievement" that confiscated my parachute.
Only question left is how long it'll be until the final "splat".
