The Job Creation and Small Business Relief Act of 2010

Quoting John Hayward:

ObamaCare is the most powerful job-killing force unleashed against our economy in decades.  It dramatically increases the cost of labor, and applies huge fines against companies that resist its mandates.  Companies such as Caterpillar, John Deere, Prudential, and AT&T responded by announcing thousands of layoffs.  This is a perfectly rational reaction to a bill that dramatically increases the cost of labor, especially when the legislation keeps mutating and producing expensive new horrors, such as the nationalization of student loans that wiped out thousands of jobs at Sallie Mae.

Small businesses that depend on flexible work forces were mauled with particular ferocity by ObamaCare.  For example, New Hampshire ski resorts employ hundreds of seasonal workers, who put in just enough hours to attract ObamaCare’s merciless hellfire eye.  The resorts will face millions in additional cost if they comply with the health-care mandate, and millions in fines if they do not.  Dramatically scaling back the work force, and attendant services to their customers, is the only way for them to escape.
