Showing Original Post only (View all)Ahem, we can stop now with the latest Hillary outrage #regulationgate...... [View all]
Here, read this:
Sometimes, those rules have gotten out of balance, placing unreasonable burdens on businessburdens that have stifled innovation and have had a chilling effect on growth and jobs. At other times, we have failed to meet our basic responsibility to protect the public interest, leading to disastrous consequences. Such was the case in the run-up to the financial crisis from which we are still recovering. There, a lack of proper oversight and transparency nearly led to the collapse of the financial markets and a full-scale Depression.
Over the past two years, the goal of my administration has been to strike the right balance. And today, I am signing an executive order that makes clear that this is the operating principle of our government.
This order requires that federal agencies ensure that regulations protect our safety, health and environment while promoting economic growth. And it orders a government-wide review of the rules already on the books to remove outdated regulations that stifle job creation and make our economy less competitive. It's a review that will help bring order to regulations that have become a patchwork of overlapping rules, the result of tinkering by administrations and legislators of both parties and the influence of special interests in Washington over decades.
snip... We're also getting rid of absurd and unnecessary paperwork requirements that waste time and money. We're looking at the system as a whole to make sure we avoid excessive, inconsistent and redundant regulation. And finally, today I am directing federal agencies to do more to account forand reducethe burdens regulations may place on small businesses. Small firms drive growth and create most new jobs in this country. We need to make sure nothing stands in their way.

When Hillary discussed regulation and red tape preventing small businesses from becoming more successful and increased creation, it was in the context of the US being ranked 46th in the world for small business creation..
If this didn't bother you about Obama, why is it a sin when Hillary states the same thing?? Or is it just because Hillary said it that it is an issue? Secondly, the creation of small business and job creation has been a goal for democrats for a long time.

Vitriol? Correcting an outright mis-representation (that's a polite word) is vitriol?

And big box stores are stealing our local taxes by being allowed to keep sales taxes they collect!

The big box stores probably came up with the policy. And the legislators who enacted the policy
