You know, it never ceases to amaze me how parasitic capitalism has become.
Obamacare has spun an entirely new industry while boosting the profits of one more "philanthropist."
A couple of Obama's biggest "bundlers," fundraisers," have started a new "small business venture." Apparently just what Obama had in mind when he said he was going to help small business create jobs.
Well, this innovative bunch who supported Obamacare has launched a new
small business, a consulting business, which for a handsome fee, teaches
small businesses how to avoid getting out from under the "high cost of
Obamacare."
One of their first clients was Taco Bell:

But, wait; it is not only this consulting firm making big bucks from this scheme.
Check out who wrote this "expose."
"Scott Keyes is an investigative researcher for ThinkProgress.org at the Center for American Progress Action Fund."
Notice; in this article there is no criticism at all of Obama and the
Democrats who intentionally placed these loopholes in the legislation
for the corporations to get out from under the "burden" of Obamacare.
The Center for American Progress was one of the leading organizations
that cobbled together a coalition supporting Obamacare with the intent
of derailing the single-payer universal health care movement--- an
outfit which, under the guise of "liberalism" opposes any discussion
about the need for a National Public Health Care System; an outfit which
has advised the Physicians for a National Health Program that "private
delivery of health services is required 'because the American people
want their doctor-patient relationship to remain intact'" and they used
red-baiting to drive the point home working through scumbags like Joel
Clemmer of the Minnesota Progressive Democrats of America.
As
an aside... this same coalition that was created to kill the
single-payer movement and is trying to use red-baiting to stifle
discussion about National Public Health Care; this coalition has now
transformed and morphed itself into another coalition: Strengthen Social
Security. Again with the Center for American Progress and the Century
Foundation sitting in the background providing the direction--- or, more
properly: the sell-out.
But wait; it gets even better... top
executives of Taco Bell are contributing hundreds of thousands of
dollars to Obama's Inaugural Events just as they did to his election,
and re-election, campaigns.
And how will Obama's die-hard supporters respond to all of this?
"Stop picking on the president."
Oh, and by the way; the legal consulting to these corporations seeking
to evade paying health care benefits to employees is coming from one of
the top attorneys from Brownstein-Hyatt-Farber-Schreck. Don't know who
they are? Do a google search: "Frank Schreck and the Democratic Party;"
"Brownstein and AIPAC."
Check this out:
Rob McKay (major Democrat donor, Taco Bell heir, and McKay Family Foundation President):

McKay also bankrolls--- guess who? Yup; the Center for American Progress.
McKay is the guy who sucked SEIU into these so-called "living wage
campaigns" pushing the poverty wage of ten dollars an hour as a way for
businesses to evade union organizing campaigns. Here is a billionaire
pushing a $10.00 an hour poverty wage off on workers as a "living wage"
when $10.00 an hour has nothing at all to do with any cost of living
factors... and his investments in Taco Bell will grow as management
schemes to get out of paying health care costs!
And people fall for this shit.
