Noone is for causing problems for businesses unnecessarily. If that is what you think that regulation is then you don't understand it's basic purpose.
As far as these Tea Party organizations are concerned, the difference between the rhetoric that these guys use and the actual actions that ultimately get taken is a HUGE divide. I have attended quite a few Tea Party events... I live right down the street from one of the biggest "We The People" organizers in North Carolina. I go to them because I have found that, for the most part, these people generally share the same beliefs that I do when you get into the specifics (as far as policy issues)... but the organizers and the politicians that come and drum up support at these events DO NOT get specific. They only use these general terms. They have a totally different agenda than the people who are there supporting them and THEY KNOW IT. They are not educating people on the issue... they are having a pep rally.
99% of the time, the majority of the people attending the events to support the "Tea Party Agenda" are not even close to educated on the issue they are rallying about... and that is the truth of the matter. There is no better example than seeing a senior holding a sign that says "Keep the government out of my Medicare!".
If you really want to know the truth... if I didn't care about the scrutiny involved... I would start my own political organization and I am here to tell you that it's not that hard. However, considering my background and taking my family into consideration... I am not going to subject them to that scrutiny.

I can't help that people believe what any politician says, I don't trust anyone in politics anymore, but you have to appluad ay organization that stirs up the coon person to question the government and it's use of our tax dollars

2300 pages
1. Premiums Have Gone Up: Obama promised that families will pay less for their healthcare premiums under his plan. Quite the opposite has happened. Insurance companies are making double-digit rate increases to consumer premiums in anticipation of the cost of new mandates by ObamaCare.
2. You Can?t Keep Your Current Plan And Doctor: Businesses will be forced to change their employees? healthcare plans in order to meet the new regulations. An estimated 69% of businesses will be forced to change their plans, forcing countless millions of Americans to change plans and doctors.
3. National Budget Deficit Is Worse: Sixty-one percent (61%) of all voters nationwide say the healthcare law will increase the federal deficit.
4. More Children Are Uninsured: Anthem Blue Cross, Aetna Inc. and other insurance agencies are dropping child-only policies, citing huge, unexpected costs from ObamaCare. An estimated half a million children in the United States will be affected by the policies.
5. Small Business Taxes Increased: Small businesses?the engine of the U.S. economy?are suffering from increased tax filing regulations and anticipated healthcare mandates. Over 40 million small businesses will be required to file new tax reports for health care. The tax credit for the regulations only covers one-tenth of these business?s losses.
6. Small Businesses Health Care Burden Increased: Almost half of all smaller employers are anticipating ?significant increases in healthcare costs in the short term.? These business owners are likely to cut back on hiring and expansion because they fear a new healthcare burden.
7. More Government Spending: The Congressional Budget Office has already adjusted the cost for ObamaCare since it passed, adding another $115 billion to the taxpayer?s tab. The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services has adjusted upwards its cost prediction since the bill took effect from 6.1% per year to 6.3%. By 2019, U.S. spending on health care will reach $4.6 trillion.
8. Senior Citizens Suffer from Medicare Cuts: The Medicare Advantage program which covers nearly a quarter of seniors will cut plans from $3-$5,000 per beneficiary. Doctors are refusing to take seniors because Medicare only covers part of their bills.
9. Minorities Get Worse Health Care: ObamaCare forces 16 million Americans into Medicaid, a poorly performing welfare program. The President considers moving Hispanic and blacks into Medicaid an improvement in their healthcare. No one else does.
10. Democrats Losing Elections: Current polls show that 61% of likely voters want the bill repealed and the Tea Party movement has demonstrated America?s anger toward ObamaCare. The primaries this summer have shown that Americans are voting for members of congress who will repeal Obamacare.
Here's a few things, but have you seen how many compnaies and unions are opting out of the new law?
