- Obama Screws The Little Guy (again)



For all the empty gas-baggery coming from the far left about how they just want to help the little guy, socialism always seems to do the opposite. The reason for this is that politics drives the decision making, and there is always a politically expedient reason for those in government to support the powerful.

Here is another example of that. Team Obama has provided Obamacare waivers to 30 large employers. Those employers were about to drop the medical coverage they provide to their employees because complying with Obamacare would make it too expensive.

So the Whitehouse sprang into action by exempting the large employers from having to comply with the law, and forcing only their smaller competitors to pay the increased fees. This will take a big bite out of the smaller companies by making them less competitive with their larger, more politically connected competition.

Once again socialism has managed to achieve the exact opposite of what it's advocates claim is the goal. I think Obamacare is an unconstitutional disaster, but if we're going to do it, we should all have to do it. We shouldn't be allowing those with good lobbyists to avoid the burden while only screwing the little guy.
