Examiner ^

The International Franchise Association held a convention in Washington this week where most of the Radio Shack, Dunkin Donuts, Curves and other franchisers were grumbling about new federal regulations, especially the impact of Obamacare.

Most, said Atlanta Taco Bell and Kentucky Fried Chicken franchiser David Barr, presumed that the reports about how hard Obamacare will hit them were overblown. "They had their head in the sand," he told Secrets

Between Obamacare and the Dems proposed massive min wage boost, it’s likely your fast food will soon be served up by a robot.

Any profits belong to the proletariat anyway, comrade, and must be funneled through the approved bureaucratic apparatus. Death to the Kulaks!!

What to do about an abortion franchise that makes a profit? What a dilemma for the DNC!

It will also mean more unemployed workers drawing more welfare at the cost to taxpayers. And we borrow 42 cents of every federal dollar spent so it will increase the deficit and national debt, which in turn, increases debt servicing costs. Eventually, the welfare state will collapse like is happening now in Greece. Obamacare just hastens the process.

That’s why Obama worked immediately upon taking office on Obamacare. Because he knew his ASSAULT ON JOB MAKERS would take it’s toll and wanted to keep the unemployed happy with insurance (in addition to food stamps, etc). What a plan!

I don’t think most of the unemployed are happy living on low incomes.

Muslims aren’t exempt, that’s a FR falsehood.

I’ve investigated this thoroughly, and the only significant groups that are exempt are Amish and Mennonite, because they are exempt from the Social Security and Medicare systems.

A few days ago, a friend of mine, who has two franchise stores told me during the last 3 years their profits, because of rising prices, have been cut in half.
