Local business owner joins Boehner in stand against ‘Obamacare’
Press release from office of U.S. Rep. John Boehner, R-West Chester Twp.:
Eighth Congressional District small business operators joined Congressman John Boehner (R-West Chester) and other House Republicans today for a press conference to discuss the destructive effect President Obama’s new health care law is having on their ability to create new jobs for Americans who are out of work.
“Washington Democrats claim the new health care law is lowering costs and creating jobs, but the reality outside the Beltway is that it is doing neither. No one has better first-hand knowledge of the destructive effects of the new health care law than our small business owners,” Boehner said. “Neither the President nor Speaker Pelosi has ever run a small business. I have. If the President is serious about creating jobs, we need to repeal this job-killing health care law and replace it with common-sense reforms that will help small businesses thrive.”
Tyeis Baker-Baumann, President of Rebsco, Inc., in Greenville called the law a “logistical nightmare” for small businesses like hers and voiced support for the efforts of the National Federation of Independent Business and 20 states to overturn it. “Small businesses today don’t need more uncertainty. And we certainly don’t need higher costs, more taxes, and more paperwork. These things destroy jobs,” Baker-Baumann said. “What I and other small businesses need from Washington is the freedom to do what we do best: run and try to grow our business and create jobs.”
Todd Wilber, Vice President of CTI Restaurants, which employs hundreds of Ohioans in the northern Cincinnati area at its Taco Bell and UNOs restaurants, said one provision alone in the new law could cost his small business an estimated $250,000 in new taxes.
“I don’t know how we are going to stay in business - let alone think about retaining employees or hiring new ones,” Wilber said. “At a time when Ohio’s unemployment rate is 11 percent, the President’s health care law is only going to make it harder on people who might not have a lot going for them, but are just looking for someone to give them a chance.”

Boehner has been in Congress 19 years, and suddenly he is worried about small businesses and his own District? LOL!

John Boehner is right on the money with his stand against the healthcare bill. The bill will not be good for any of us. I hope to see the bill repealed or somehow stopped in court as unconstitutional. John Boehner is a good, personable man that has my respect.

The best way to retain employees is to offer them competitive wages and benefits. A minimum wage job with no benefits is going to have high turnover. Duh. Boehner wants to create more minimum wage jobs, not middle class jobs. And then he supports outsourcing the middle class jobs and providing those corporations that do outsource overseas with government subsidies. Don’t be fooled middle class, Boehner is the one killing your jobs.

BARACK OBAMA PLANS TO LEGALIZE AND ADD MILLIONS OF ILLEGALS TO SOCIAL SECURITY, TO HIS COMMIECARE HEALTH BOONDOGGLE, ETC TO BUY THEIR DEMOCRAT BLOC VOTES! THIS IN ADDITION TO WHAT ILLEGALS ALREADY COST US NOW. $ 338.3 BILLION DOLLARS OF YOUR USA TAX MONEY GOES TO SUPPORT ILLEGALS EVERY YEAR! THAT’S EVERY YEAR FOLKS! THIS 338.3 BILLION IS MORE THAN THE IRAQ WAR IS COSTING US! THE 338.3 BILLION DOES NOT COVER OTHER COSTS SUCH AS THE MASSIVE CRIME COMMITTED BY ILLEGALS, INCARCERATION, COURT COSTS OR THE LOSS OF JOBS TO AMERICAN’S! AMERICA TAKES IN ONE MILLION “LEGAL IMMIGRANTS” A YEAR AND THAT’S FAR TOO MANY. THERE ARE MILLIONS OF ILLEGALS HERE AND THEY ARE DRAINING OUR NATION OF BADLY NEEDED RESOURCES THAT SHOULD GO TO AMERICANS. THIS NOVEMBER, STOP OBAMA’S SCHEME TO LEGALIZE THESE INTRUDERS BY VOTING OUT OBAMA’S RUBBER STAMP DEMOCRATS WHO ARE ADVOCATING THIS MADNESS! http://www.numbersusa.com/content/resources/video/recommended/immigration-gumballs.html

“By their fruit you shall know them.” A quote from Gods word. So what is the fruit coming from the Obama Admin.? 1. Disdain for the Constitution. 2. Disdain for his oath of office. 3. The firing of G.M.’s CEO. 4. Appointing full fledged communists to run departments. 5. Building monopolies within government. 6. Trashing America with unsustainable debt. 7. Disdain for truth. 8. Lying with audacity. 9. On their face contradictions in speech. 10. Wanting to use illegals as voting blocs and using debt to finance them. That should be enough to send this fraud back to Kenya.

I agree with Eli Jones we need to stop the illegals from drain this country. These illegals don’t pay taxes what so ever but they get all the benefits. As for the small business owners I am glad they are speaking out about this Obamacare program. It will hurt small business in the long run. Obama and Pelosi both need to be ousted and all the ones who voted for this so call health care. Obama said he would also help create jobs I don’t see any the only thing I see is more companies either closing or laying off.

Please read: Boehner has supported Corporations outsourcing your jobs people. He then supports those same Corporations getting huge tax cuts and some even getting subsidies from the taxpayers. These two things are killing the middle class. Look at Boehner’s voting record. Do a little research and just don’t repeat what Rush Limbaugh is telling you. Boehner has voted against the jobs bills.

Keep in mind this is the same person the supported a previous presidents spending from a surplus to a huge deficit and said NOTHING about it. Supported companies outsourcing for lower wages. Now you thing he has any of Americas interests in mind? Drop you Teapot and get a tan, this man is for himself only. If he really wanted to do something about healthcare he has had the last 9 years, and done NOTHING, even in the last year he has done nothing but say Hell no or vote no, offered NOTHING in the way of additional ideas to the healthcare debate, just NOTHING. That pretty much wraps up this individual, nice tan, great suits, no ideas or help for Americans. Just say Hell no to Mr Tanman Boehner.
