I had several businesses over the course of my life. The last thing I ever wanted was to be nurtured by the teat of government. That’s nothing more than welfare for some and taxes for others. Small businessmen, at least the better ones don’t want help from government. They just want government to get out of the way. Businessmen want to have the satisfaction of knowing they built something on their own. Government often gets in the way of that.
When government starts getting involved with small business they end up picking winners and losers there too. For some reason, government types want to fiddle with things when they don’t need helped and the government types have no eff’n clue what to do anyways. They go looking for problems where there are none. This bill signed by DeSantis is a perfect example. Cars have been sold in Florida for over 100 years and there hasn’t been a need for such a law. Government is fiddling and there isn’t a damn one of them that has ever worked and built something.
And, while I have not owned a great many companies, I have owned an international engineering company (and seem to be in the process of starting a new one), So I’m familiar with capitalism.
