Absolutely. I totally agree. You are absolutely right. I would commend the gentleman for being one of those leaders in our country who is standing up for the working people of this country. I would just note the president of the Teamsters Union, James Hoffa, has said that this rule will ``destroy the foundation of the 40-hour work week that is the backbone of the American middle class.'' In short, ObamaCare is hurting the very people that it was intended to help. I don't think this is a partisan issue. There are well-meaning people on both sides of the aisle who want to help working families make it a little easier and get by a little easier and put food on the table and earn a living wage, but this law is punishing people for working hard. Hard work is what made this country great. Why would we disincentivize hard work? Yet that is exactly what ObamaCare does.
