When Randy O’Dell opens the doors of Jafe Decorating Co. each morning, he sees the faces of 40 people, each with different talents, skills and dreams. Like most small employers, he and his employees are close, almost like family and they share a future that depends on the survival of the Greenville, Ohio glass manufacturing business.

Those of you who have employees or who hope to grow big enough to need others to help you build your business appreciate the value of productive employees. They aren’t just people who punch in and out every day; they are important contributors to your business and the financial foundation that holds their nation together.

But President Obama’s administration is changing that. You see it in virtually every corner of your operations--new rules, new regulations, more mandates, trickier taxes and demands that you spend your time filling out non-essential paperwork.

Randy O’Dell would never call an employee “Mrs. Ten-thousand, five hundred dollars,” he’d say her name. But if federal regulators aren’t reined in, that might be the first thing that comes to his mind when his crew shows up for work each morning. $10,500—that’s how much the average small business pays per employee each year to comply with government rules.

2. It's also a lie...

They can't back up this bullshit. I speak as a small business owner and never had those expenses. They may be classifying corporations with revenues of hundreds of millions as small businesses to come up with these humbers. But it certainly isn't true of businesses that make less than $1 million a year.
