The real problem here is: Where the hell is the money really coming from?
Keep sending money out there!
At Rotary last week, those at our table (all Business owners)said, they cannot take any more overhead on. Not a Tax, not a Fee, not another Increase, not another Form. They have cut back as much as they can and if they are called upon to provide more for this crap, then they will downsize and let people GO! The small business owner is on a tightrope just hanging on in some cases.
LESS JOBS!
Or the outcome is to raise prices which they feel will cut sales because of higher prices and cause inflation.
Then less sales lead to less sales taxes being taken in so then there is a need to find other ways to make up the gap.
So what is the real costs here?
