Mean household income is around $50,000. Median household income is around $45,000. Both numbers are well within the reach of a couple with one or both employed at Denny's, or a single earner assistant manager at Denny's. Same with Papa John's. A server who hustles and is good enough (both with customers and with management) to get 30 - 40 hours can easily earn $30K even in a Tennessee sit-down restaurant of those classes, and the best can earn $50k. Just because someone works at Denny's or Papa John's doesn't make them lower class, in any sense.Middle class families don't work at Denny's, middle class family's don't work at papa johns.
I am middle class and will keep my existing employer healthcare.
And I read the entire ACA at one point, it's awful legislation, terrible and doomed to fail. But not because of the cost increase to some businesses.
If you want to shred obamacare I'm right there with you, but you have to pick more legit arguments.
