If so, let me list the problems with your premise (1) The franchise owner may be lying about Obamacare;s effect on his business. He might be lying for political purposes. As an example, you have taken his allegation as evidence of a nation-wide problem.
You talked about what "companies" are doing based on and article about a single franchisee. (2) A single, self-selected sample point is not indicative of anything. If this one franchise owner's allegations are relevant, then you should be able to say that one person getting the flu means that the entire country is getting sick.
(3) You assume that this is a bad thing, if true. Step back and consider the consequences of cutting back hours. He will need to hire people to make up for the hours that he cut.
If underemployment is better than unemployment, then some people just got an upgrade. Assuming other fast-food restaurants follow suit, then there will be a hiring boom. This will either reduce unemployment or raise wages depending on the size of the labor market.
I think the Wendy's franchisee owner is lying. In order for the Affordable Care Act to affect him, he will need large number of employer who earn more than 31,000 a year and more than 50 of them buy their health insurance using the tax credits in the Affordable Care Act. People under 31,000 are covered by Medicare.
He is using the excuse of "Obamacure" to cut hours or to score political points. He can prove the Affordable Care Act will affect him if you releases what he pays employees. Companies that employ more than 50 employees who each earn than 31,000 and that offer no health insurance already is very small.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
