The very premise of free market is a fairy tale. Nice!

Roll your eyes at this little nugget.

There is no business mandate in Obamacare, or did that fact get left out of the RW talking points memo?

A restaurant owner near where I live started posting talk radio talking points on a bulletin board outside his restaurant, bashing Obama and Hillary during the primaries in 2008.

He was out of business in about 6 months. Idiot.

Interesting. Remember he likely only pays $3.02 an hour since they are tipped unlike the say Tshirt shop next door.

Obamacare does have VERY HIGH costs. This guy just reeks of being a tea party nutjob tho.

Well, they will at least be healthier. I think a nation full of ill people raised a few eyebrows, as it should have. Sometimes things need to be fixed, not just jimmied.

Yes, these people aren't smart enough to own a business if they can't realize that the MAJORITY of people in America are who they are up against, not just the president.

Since they don't pay minimum wage or have the requisite number of employees (most likely), this is bogus.
Here's a business I'd like to see go under.

He doesn't want government out of his business. He's thrilled to be able to add to his profits, and put the blame on government for higher prices, even though it's not the government but his own greed that's responsible for the higher prices.
