You'd think our President Barack Obama would have absorbed even a little Econ on what built Chicago, the City of Big Shoulders, but no. After all, Dem-run Illinois is a profligate state despite Chicago's free market smarts.Some food for thought.

Every new bill that this crazy Congress pushes through is another bucket of sand poured into the gears of the economy. No business can act fast enough to clear the mechanism, let alone plan around thousands of contingencies.
Obama is making business entirely about survival in the best of cases, and much of the onslaught of legislation deliberately ensures that certain types of businesses will not survive.
Case in point: family owned businesses often have to break up to pay "death taxes." Often the business has to be sold just to pay the death taxes, leaving nothing for the succeeding generation to take over. It's Big Government engaging in cannibalism.
Yes. Like family farms.
Most small town small businesses.
