What a joke - My business just received another threat of force letter from the state government (Colorado Department of Labor and Employment), listing the unemployment insurance rate for 2013 - the rate that I must pay to ensure that in case I fire myself, the government will send money back to me personally to take care of me during the tough times, so I guess I don't need to save for myself - the nanny's got my back. Interestingly at the bottom, they bribe me with this message "You can get a lower rate for 2013 if you have a computed rate and are up-to-date with all of your payments. (I am). To get a lower rate, you must make an extra payment called a 'voluntary payment.' This payment must be received my March 14, 2013. See the voluntary-payment instructions form in this packet."
You only ever hear about the "bad" things government does. How about the protection from predatory practices by businesses already in the field? Do we really want to go back to the Standard Oil days, when it wasn't government that hampered business, but large companies that prevented new companies from forming and drove others out of business by shady practices? At least with government you can vote people out and change laws. No such luck when stuck in a minarchist libertarian "paradise".

My lord that's an awful lot of whining. Don't you have a business to run?

Most of it's passive. I got too much time dealing with government meddling to expand.
I work for myself and have to pay unemployment insurance. How is this not absurd?
Its absurd however, what can you do. I appreciate all the things my govt, state govt and local govt provide me, I pay in, I also use every tool at my expense.
When I began my first Business in 2003, I was scared shitless man, im liberal as they come and from what I was told liberals dont understand business. Well, that's just pure stupidity now that I have done quite well.
Dude, there are a lot of unfair things in this world, your situation being just one example. You have to pull yourself up and do whats right. If its the law of the land, then do with it.
Have you considered moving to a new state. FL has some awesome programs for people like you. Look into it, be flexible, be patient and mostly, be aggressive and never say never. Dont let the negativity get to you man.

I provide a service...the government makes it hard to do that. I am my only employee. I am not Standard Oil. The old soviet union...you would love it.
I owned two business before I took my dream job with NASA. Sir, you need to sack up and or pick a new market to look into.
I recently just opened a dog grooming shop and next door im renting a shop that will allow me to do a doggy day care/ boarding. Its been profitable only three months in. I employ 4 people and pay their insurance out of pocket because I care for the people who make money for me and work very hard. I have paid Holidays and up to 10 sick days a year.
IDK what complaining will get you. Not much I rekon.

Your competitors are dealing with the same "government meddling", aren't they?
But you shouldn't have to pay into UI because your business can't fail, right?
Plus you have to wash your hands. What a drag.
Most regulations are mandated by the court. They also protect you, not just people FROM you.
The elites really were successful in dividing the country into the providers and the takers huh? How unfortunate.

Depends who you consider the dividers and the takers.
I think the CEO who pays himself 8 figures and insists I need to take a pay cut to keep the company afloat is a "taker".

When I closed my law office I opened a dog grooming shop. I was profitable in two months. But I didn't hire any employees. I had two helpers who were paid by the day, if they showed up, they got paid for the day. If they didn't show up, someone else got paid. Pretty soon I had regulars, those who would reliably show up day after day. I put the money back into the shop, state of the art equipment.

Unless he owns the company, the CEO's doesn't decide his own pay. The board of directors decide it, and they are employees of the stock holders. In other words, pay is decided by the owners of the company, so how is that "taking?" If you don't like your pay, go find another company that pays more to your liking.

You might not be you either, if there were a Standard Oil type business around. You seem to be missing the point. You have to put up with some inconveniences to reap the rewards of a leveler playing field. It's a trade off. Would you rather have a government that sometimes makes things difficult, but can be changed vs. monopolies that can't?
Right. Because these CEO's don't manipulate the process one little bit...
HELLLLLO...
How about this, we actualy have real regulation and oversight of these companies.
That works a lot better, actually, and it's how the rest of the industrialized world does it.
