Read this. Seriously, you won't thank me, but you need to know. The author is an experienced accountant, speaking about his experiences with the cost of doing business in this country.
Wow. I wonder what value I could’ve been adding to my company during
that instead of creating multiple phone book sized reconcilliations that
no government employee will actually ever read. However, if I’d failed
to spend hundreds of hours producing these useless documents, we’d have
gotten fined and put out of business.
And...
You want employees? Get ready for the DoL. Better get your EEOC reports
done on time (one of the only places left where anyone actually gives a
damn what color you are). When I opened my first business, I was rather
surprised to discover that I had to contact 5 different state and
federal entities before I could hire my first employee. You want to
actually build something? Get ready for OHSA and the EPA. The approvals
alone will eat up an eternity of time you could be productive. And you’d
darn well better make sure you do your quarterly filings with the IRS
and your state tax commission, or they will eat you.
Finally...
Ken Salazar put thousands of men out of work in eastern Utah with the
stroke of a pen. Then they did the same thing in the gulf. Now Canadians
are having to hire Americans to fill all their many job openings. Think
about that… Canada. Friggin’ Canada is kicking our asses! They were all
like, “Hey, we’re all out of jobs, eh? But under our feet is stuff
worth money. Maybe we should dig it up and sell it, eh?”
