I recall the tale of onetime Sen/prez candidate George McGovern. He decided to buy a hotel for his retirement years, figuring he’d have a tidy, reliable income.

He was forced to declare bankruptcy b/c, he said, he could not keep up with the expensive rules and regulations govt inflicts on business owners.

McG said as a Senator all the rules and regs made into law seemed like a good idea....he had no idea of the burdens they inflicted on others.

That was a great, no-nonsense place.

The bearded, white comedian guy from Rebel Media also was a New York City restauranteur and he detailed his travels, it was absolutely mind-blowing, how much red tape and harassment those poor hard-working people put have to put up with.

He finally threw up his hands and said f it.

It’s like NYC hates small business owners.

“The NYC Department of Small Business Services makes it easier for businesses to start, operate, and grow, including by helping businesses navigate important City regulations,” said spokesman Nick Benson."

Oh, I bet they're a big help.

Answer to stifling burden imposed by big government: bigger government!

But they never see the connection between their voting patterns and the stifling regulations.

I’m surprised the Daily News rag would publish this as they are normally a stooge for the establishment and very anti-Trump.

One of my reasons for relocating to NYC a couple years ago was so that I could have access to the thousands of great restaurants there. I have fond memories of going to a different place for lunch every day back in the 1990s when I went there for business. Great lunches for under $5 and I’m not talking about food trucks either.

Now it’s a struggle to find decent lunch for under $15 even at a food truck. I usually bring my own lunch to the city or I take a client to lunch so I can expense it!

Regulations such as General Tso’s “chicken” should actually contain some chicken.

And he blamed the amount of paperwork now required — an increasingly difficult task for a non-chain businesses. “In a one-restaurant operation like ours, you’re spending more time on paperwork than you are trying to run your business,” he griped.

The net effect of government regulation is to make it uneconomical to run a small business, giving a big advantage to large corporations. From the viewpoint of Corporate America, this is a feature, not a bug.

Trump needs to drastically cut the Regulatory State, to make small business viable again.
