This is funny coming from a party that weaponized the IRS under the Obama Administration for political purposes

Total fake news, Trump refused to prosecute Lois Lerner for this so called 'weaponization'

and has taken over regulations to new extremes. For example, in California, a small business owner was fined $10,000 for having a leaking faucet that drained into a sink. The water travelled through a pipe that was corroded to a degree and as a result, the owner was charged under CA EPA water regulations regarding “contamination”. Also in California, a construction worker was told to climb down a ladder to talk to an OSHA inspector. After climbing down the ladder in the “wrong way”, the construction worker was given a large fine. Also in California, I personally received a $900.00 fine for being 15 minutes over hours on my truckers logs. The reason I was over hours was my loss of considerable time dealing with other regulations.

Anecdotal, and you could always do business in your favorite red states, leave California for people who are not playing victim all the time.

When Democrats are in power, they use regulation as a partial source of funding for their overreaching agenda and political control. Excessive taxes is the other source. I am willing to bet that businesses that show financial and political support to the Democrats do not face the same enforcement that other businesses do. We have seen businesses publically support Democratic agenda. Not necessarily because they agree with it, rather that may fear retribution by the Radical Leftists if they don’t go along with it their agenda. Businesses are probably best served by showing, as well as voters for that matter, some backbone and standing up against Radical Leftist tactics.

It is funny coming from a Democratic philosophy of feeling entitled to living one’s life at the expense of another. For example, in Oregon all roads are now effectively toll roads to interstate commerce through a per mile tax of $.21. For comparison, a well managed trucking company in a good economy can expect to make about $.10 per mile. It typically costs from $.06 to $.10 per mile for road upkeep. Where is the rest of this money going?

In Pennslyvannia, There is a toll road that charges $.75 per mile to truckers. This is about double of what a typical company driver can expect to earn. In addition, the trucking company has to still pay PA’s high fuel tax rate for all miles travelled in PA. So who is really paying for all these taxes? Out of necessity, it is passed through to consumers who pay for these goods with money saved after state and Federal incomes taxes. Oh, then they have to pay a sales tax as well. Oh, and this is after they have paid fuel taxes in their trip over to the store. And so on.

Regulation and taxes are oppressive under Democratic “leadership”. This is one of the reasons over taxed and over regulated California is seeing weaker griwth rates than more business friendly states. This is why the Democratic controlled inner cities offer little economic opportunity for their residents.

Democrats: The ultimate slumlords. Do you really want a slumlord controlling your life?

Blah blah blah

These are the most conservative regulation free states, why are they such business shitholes with low GDP per capita with a low taxpayer base? Do your business there if you are so upset with Dem run states.
