   While ObamaCare is top-of-mind, let’s talk about the Democrats and their   
   pitiful attempts to defend ObamaCare.  For this we turn to Ditzy Debbie   
   Wasserman Shultz.  She says that ObamaCare will be a “boon for small   
   businesses.”  Seriously!  She explains that this will be good for small   
   businesses because they will get a 50% premium tax credit on their   
   coverage.  Getting a 50% tax credit for something that an employer is now   
   forced to provide is not a “boon” for business owners.   
      
   If brains were dynamite this lady couldn’t blow her own nose.   
      
   The truth is that ObamaCare will be the opposite of a “boon for small   
   businesses” because it will discourage hiring, particularly the hiring of   
   full-time workers!  Keeping the number of full-time workers under 50 will   
   be key to those employers who cannot afford the risk of paying fines for   
   not covering employees.  The Heritage Foundation did a study, which found   
   that the cost to an employer of hiring a full-time worker increases to at   
   least $10.03 per hour and for those with family health coverage, it is at   
   least $13.75 an hour.  The result is that businesses hire less full-time   
   workers.   
      
   Also not factored into Ditzy Debbie’s talking points is the cost in terms   
   of time and money for complying with the avalanche of new rules and   
   regulations associated with ObamaCare.  Bigger companies may be able to   
   absorb the burden of these regulations, but it will leave smaller   
   businesses struggling.   
      
   While we are at it, take a look at ObamaCare’s seven tax hikes on the   
   middle class.  Those tax hikes are conveniently missing from Ditz   
   Debbie’s talking points.
