Yes, there are many personal stories describing how the regulatory state puts Americans out of business. That is one of the best series of Internet comments I have ever read.
Agree. The comments on that story are worth reading. I am not a businessman but I would not bother either. When over half your labor goes to feed or satisfy the government it can’t be worth it. Corporate America is winning.... they already employ lawyers, accountants, and politicians to maintain compliance. The little guy who does it themselves does not stand a chance in today’s environment.
