I apologize that this is "insurance industry" related, however this is from an article in the bi-weekly newsletter the trade association I work for puts out to our members....it is just an example of the kinds of taxing increases that the governor put on business. He thinks consumers aren't smart enough to realize that means a trickle down tax to them.

Our lobbyist was able to do an outstanding job, considering the state house & congress are both overwhelmingly democrat and were lobbied heavy by the trial lawyers' association, in keeping increases lower than what they had proposed.

Bagoshits is a disaster. Even my liberal friends seriously dislike him. This will be the longest 4 years of our lives.

Licenses to do work. Permission from government.

Don't sound much like a free market or a free people to me.

After a tumultuous six-month session, the results are a mixed bag-restraint on several anti-business substantive proposals, but significant increases in taxes and fees paid by businesses, insurers and insurance producers.

He will turn this state into a cesspool. These taxes will drive businesses out of state and the increases in fees and taxes will be passed down to the consumers, like you said. How can anyone be so obtuse???? These proposals hit home for my husband's business, my present business, and the one I hope to go into after I finish my degree, which happens to be insurance-related (which won't happen if I can't get financial aid because the illegal aliens deserve it more, poor them). Forgive the ranting, please.
