This surely won't be the last time this will happen and I doubt the way this thing was set up that Obama didn't want this to happen anyhow. Just talked to my brother who has a small business and he's worried about the additional costs associated with this bill.

I don't know why the govt thinks it knows more about business than business owners. Well, yes I do. The feds are pompous poops who don't know or care to know their own limitations. Now it appears that their "helping" once again is going to hurt the 'workers'.
Repeat after me, less not more govt interference. That shoul be the mantra. ARGH and AACCKK!
I didn't know that a burger joint like McDonald's even OFFERED health care for their workers.
This "theme" is going to be repeated all across the country, from small businesses all the way up to huge corporations.
Thanks, Barack. MORON.
It's probably an attempt to smear corporations. McDonald's denies the report.

You can't attack a business without hurting the workers and investors who rely upon that business for heir welfare. Leftists just don't get that very simple point.

No, they've got self-defensive rationalizations to shield them from having to deal with the fact. Heck, you could say roughly the same thing about virtually any lefty idea.
Welfare? Say goodbye to the black family.
Project housing? Say goodbye to modest, unattractive but individually-owned homes by the poor.
Medicare? Say goodbye to affordable medical care.
I agree Arpad. Also the subjective, touchy-feely idea about concepts like fairness and justice are just really out of wack.
If you forced someone today to live like a middle class family lived 50 years ago then they would feel deprived. One car in the family. Kids sharing bedrooms. Grandparents living with their kids. One black and while TV. One car. Modest vacations. Oh the humanity of it all. Where would be the "justice" in being forced to live like that? We must take from others so no one has to live through a hell like that. ::) :P :o

McDonald's Health Care Plan should be that they don't allow their employees to eat there.
Now stop it, you're just mad about the restraining order.

Heaven forbid we allow people the personal freedom to make their own choices. Instead we need to empower much smarter liberals to make our decisions for us.

Perhaps it would be more accurate to say good-bye to the white family.
