Watch this video: CEO Tells Congress he was fined for hiring too many people.
The take away:
In my own business, securities regulations have prohibited me from hiring brokers for more than three years. I was even fined fifteen thousand dollar expressly for hiring too many brokers in 2008. In the process I incurred more than $500,000 in legal bills to mitigate a more severe regulatory outcome as a result of hiring too many workers. I have also been prohibited from opening up additional offices. I had a major expansion plan that would have resulted in my creating hundreds of additional jobs. Regulations have forced me to put those jobs on hold.
The President and Congress don’t need to spend another $447 billion to create jobs. They only have to lift regulations.
President Obama said “If you love me, you gotta help me pass this bill.”
Mr. President: If you were serious about creating jobs, why can’t Boeing open their finished factory doors due to the NLRB?
Mr. President: Why did the DOJ instruct Gibson Guitars to ship jobs over seas ?
Sorry Mr President. I don’t love you. I love my country. Something your administration seems intent on dismantling.
