So, Rip Daniels is the "poster boy" for all small business owners?
No, he is one of the examples used in the story.
Why are YOU trying to make him out to be the poster boy for small business? I think we know.
Nope. A guy that's telling his experience with taxes and regulations and insurance.The guy that's representative of small business owners across the country?
What does it have to do with regulations and taxes on small business? Oh, that's right - nothing.This is Rip's radio program home page. I suggest you look at it and then tell me if you think Rip has an "agenda" and what you think it might be.

He was "chosen" by the newspaper doing the survey as one of the two people they decided to quote in the piece. I was just curious about his background (since in general I'm skeptical of 90% of what I read from the MSM these days) so I Googled him. From what I saw on the home page of his radio show, I'd classify 'ole Rip as someone who could be counted on to back any liberal agenda pretty much right down the line.
Quite frankly...I find it hard to believe that any survey of business owners would have them ALL saying that not only didn't they MIND government regulations but they welcomed them. God, knows I never have. The hoops they made me jump through to buy alcohol when I was running a restaurant in North Carolina was a MAJOR pain in the ass. I literally had to spend hours each week doing inventories and paper work to comply with the State regulations.
