Yes
What tort reformers don’t tell you is that the legal system already has three safety mechanisms in place to prevent, dismiss, and correct “frivolous lawsuits” and “runaway jury verdicts.”
The Myth Of The Frivolous Lawsuit | Tort Deform
In 2006 you guys argued that frivolous lawsuits were hurting tax payers. Today you're worrying about the small business'.
Companies with 50 or more employees are required to provide healthcare or pay a penalty. So the ACA isn't hurting any "small business". Not the kind of small business' who got Trump elected. Those people all have less than 50 employees so a non issue for small business.
The Federal Tax code? You mean paying taxes? Can you show me their federal taxes went up under Obama?
Maybe small business' problem is they make a shitty product, don't sell enough, overprice their crap and they **** up so much they get sued. Don't blame the government because your business is a failure.
Intellectual property laws are abused by employees? From my perspective corporations have all the power and make us sign non compete contracts so we can't even go work for the competitor after they use us up and spit us out after 5 years. Can you provide evidence this is an issue?
51 employees isn't a "SMALL" business, but 49 employees is a "SMALL" business?
You are absolutely FOS that the ACA does not have any negative affect on "SMALL BUSINESSES".
THE SMALL BUSINESS ACT OF 1953 defines a "SMALL BUSINESS" as "one which is independently owned and operated and which is not dominant in its field of operation."
There is NOTHING about "50" employees.
Your arbitrary number of "50" employees to DEFINE a SMALL BUSINESS is simply bullshit.
That's for starters.
YOUR claim is that "SMALL BUSINESSES" are not affected AT ALL....NOT ONE BIT by Obamacare...
Since December 2012, rates for small employers grew 588 percent in Washington state, though this astounding increase is likely due to the small sample size and additional state regulations. Premiums rose 66 percent in Pennsylvania, 37 percent in California, 34 percent in Indiana, 30 percent in Kentucky and 29 percent in Colorado.
For small businesses that help pay for their employees healthcare.....THE RATES ARE UP.

Do you want to stay on this, or do you want to go to the next issue?
Are we still on the REPUBLICAN "TALKING POINTS"?
What about OVERTIME laws and Silicia regulations? Should we deep dive on those?
