Quoting the article itself ... "says government regulation is not hurting his radio and real estate business, rising insurance costs are"
Thats a direct result of government regulation. What a moron. Article contradicts itself.
Bullshit! His insurance cost isn't regulated by the government.
What planet do you live on? Businesses are required by government regulation to carry worker's comp, health insurance, liability, and dozens of other insurance policies. Last time I priced worker's comp insurance I would have had to pay $25,000 a year to cover the minimally required 5 workers, even though I did not have 5 employees. I dropped the contract rather than go to the expense, which actually put 2 people out of work.
I am rarely this confrontational unless someone has come at me guns blazing but when I see outright lies, well there you go. I own a business and some of the stuff you've already spewed were clues that you were making stuff up but this post is proof. Unless you're talking about owning a very small nuclear power plant or you're paying these 5 Phantom employees $200K+ each, you're just pulling this shit outta your ass.
You're a liar. You don't own a business. You're making this shit up behind the anonymity of the net to try to validate a bullshit argument.
