Obamacare Targets Small Businesses



An imperial presidency, that’s what future historians will call the Obama administration.  Time after time, the authoritarians have decreed from the white, plantation house on the hill, rules and regulations we serfs must abide by, and without the benefit of a yea or nay from our representatives.

The latest affront to liberty is the new mandate requiring small businesses to justify their hiring and firing practices.  Here is an excerpt from the Washington Post describing the latest outrage:


And the fine print of the latest announcement from the Administration is worse than the terrible headlines. This rule includes a provision that says you have to have the right motives for having a certain number of employees to be in compliance with Obamacare. Bear with me, that’s right: You must certify to the IRS – under the threat of perjury – that the reasons for your employee head count have nothing to do with your opposition to or avoidance of Obamacare. This president doesn’t just selectively enforce the law as he sees fit; now he is actually inventing new crimes.  It’s jaw-dropping that if you fall below 100 employees, the burden will be on you to prove that you meant no disrespect to Obamacare.  I can’t wait to see the video of the first Democrat who tries to defend this new threat of prosecution within Obamacare.  In fact, look for the White House to fix this and somehow drop this provision altogether.  It’s completely indefensible.




There are many executive actions by this president that is indefensible. I’m surprised someone from the Washington Post voiced dissent.  Usually, these dogs are humping Obama’s leg.  I wished other liberal rags would wake up to these outrages, Charlotte Observer anyone?
