Caller to Mark Levin claims ObamaCare threatening his business

[alp227]

A couple weeks back I peeked at the local right wing station and heard this caller on the Mark Levin Show claiming that the Affordable Care Act fines are threatening his law firm and forcing him to hire his employees part-time or else his business will go under water. Levin commented afterwards that he fears that the federal government will force companies to hire full-time and thus issue the health care.

I posted this to get input from others about this common RW talking point. According to Media Matters, Harvard economist David Cutler stated in an email to the organization: "...most of the possible employment losses come from people who are working solely to get health care."

But I think that people vote Republican because stories like the caller's are appealing enough. This is what we're up against.

1. If somebody can't afford to take care of their workers health-wise

They probably shouldn't be running a business in the first place. Then again, making it so employers have to provide healthcare is silly.

3. He sounds like he's in his 20's....

The whining really is convincing that he owns a law firm with 70 employees.

It's always funny when this:



Claims to be this:

5. Ron Paul,...since Reagan ain't available.

7. What's sad is he's probably too young to remember Reagan...

The last election had new voters born during Clinton's term.

2. If I had a dollar for every right wing punk who claimed to own a business....

I could finance free healthcare for everyone here at DU.
