No, but it is still unacceptable that any business owner is faced with government intervention driving the decision to close up shop.

I am sure you are against all the 'tort reform' laws impacting the legal businesses right? Or are you fine with regulation that doesn't affect you?

You have to be lacking the cognitave ability to connect dots. Tort reform laws do effect me. The frivolous lawsuit filed by Banzhaf resulted in the MSA. The cost of the MSA is passed on directly to the consumer. Therefore, frivolous lawsuits are just another tax to take from the citizens pockets and put it in the government bank account.

If he is successful in his law suits against the fast food industry, you can expect the cost to be passed along to the customer, that customer will be affected.

You don't think the cost of frivolous lawsuits are passed on to hospital patients, then to insurance companies, then to all of the individuals paying premiums?

I think the whole thing can be solved with a "loser pays" system. I would like to see the loser pay the total cost caused by the lawsuit plus some mark-up. We would then see less silliness and more companies would defend themselves rather than settle.
