Gallup: health costs, gov’t regulations curb small business hiring

Gallup: health costs, gov’t regulations curb small business hiring. Small businesses asked why are you NOT looking for new employees, 48% indicated “worried about the potential cost of healthcare” and 46% indicated “worried about new government regulations.” Yeah, that’s what they say but the real reason is raaaaacism.

  • This is part of the Obama/Alinsky plan to dispose of small bisnesses and of course the MIDDLE CLASS. He wants the UNIONS to run everything. When Obamacare goes down the drain, businesses will put many people back to work. But the progressive/liberals are blind to this or so they want us to think they are.

  • And these idiots are just figuring this out now? Just watch how fast Small Business hiring resumes after"Dear Leader" gets the boot.

  • In not questioning the motives of those who favor programs such as social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, Hillarycare and Obamacare I still must say that the constitution was put in place to protect free people from good intentions.

    In questioning the motives of those favoring such, I think they do exactly what their authors intend them to do: slow down or kill capitalism and enslave us.

  • Right, "Worried about cost and regulation problems" is just more of that dog-whistle code-word racism that eebil white folk use in public before going home to put on their sheets and swastikas.

  • The question not asked would have gotten the biggest response.

    100% indicated "Worried about Obama getting reelected"
