The gags almost write themselves. FReepers, you've got plenty of material to work with here. Have at it.
This small business owner says that this article is full of crap.
Right - because you're too stoopid to figure out how to do things safely (and keep from getting sued) without some bureaucrat in DC ginning up a boatload of regulations!
Uh-oh! Texas better start worrying that their small businesses will move to California.

McClatchy Company: ...
In 2008, McClatchy's bureau chief in Washington, D.C., John Walcott, was the first recipient of the I.F. Stone Medal for Journalistic Independence ... In accepting the award, Walcott commented on McClatchy's reporting during the period preceding the Iraq War:
... our reporting different from so much other reporting? ... we sought out the dissidents, and we listened to them, instead of serving as stenographers to high-ranking [Bush administration] officials and Iraqi exiles

I.F. Stone:
Journalistic style: According to Nation Magazine ... an outspoken leftist journalist
If you read the article, you discover the following
“None of the business owners complained about regulation in their particular industries, and most seemed to welcome it. Some pointed to the lack of regulation in mortgage lending as a principal cause of the financial crisis that brought about the Great Recession of 2007-09 and its grim aftermath.”
I got that far into the article in my morning newspaper and then realized that the respondents were obviously cherry-picked.
So, without the government looking over his shoulder Wolfson would imperil his guests' health and safety.
There is no other way to read this scumbag's statement.
This has got to be one of the most absurd things I have read in some time...perhaps ever. What would he be doing without them?
“...road to hoe.”
I thought the term is “row to hoe”
Author hasn’t done much hoeing.
I am a life long bookkeeper. I worked for large firms until I went self-employed & concentrated on working for small businesses.
I cannot for the life of me wonder what this pollster calls a SMALL business. Most of the “hospitality” business is large chains...not a 10 unit motel run under a DBA by your uncle & aunt.
The SMALL business people I have done books for for over 40 years are definately hampered by all the regulations & taxes & fees & paperwork.
Mr. “Rip” Daniels complains about insurance... all kinds. That would mean healthcare and liablity. Well, Mr. Rip.. liability insurance costs so much because of the NUMBER ONE constituency that profits from democrats and socialists and excessive regulation (which provides lawsuit fodder)== THE TRIAL LAWYERS who sue business owners. Do any of these fake interviews get the point? Apparently not.
Oh, yeah... but then you don’t have to insure illegal workers nor provide them with health benefits. Now that obamnesty is in place “he doahn got no problem wid finding hep”!!! Workers of the world unite..... not.
And to think Debbie McClatchy was a folk singer screaming about women’s and worker’s rights. What a laugh.
Yep.
Businesses love high taxes, Union Labor and regulations.
Nothing makes them happier. :)

McClatchy is an excellent place to start.
So, the Marxist ideologue takes it on herself to poll small business owners. Now we don’t know who these people are even if they exist. But by God Onada’s propanda organs glom onto her “information” as though it was the most credible information they have ever seen.
I wonder, pray tell, why most small businesses are not hiring and keeping any plans for growth in a desk drawer. Does McClatchy tells us what small business’ problem is?
