Small Business Gets Punished by Supreme Court Ruling

Small Business Gets Punished by Supreme Court Ruling

The ruling by the Supreme Court that found Obamacare constitutional sent a message to small business that free enterprise no longer exists and the government is now in charge of their future.

The Office of the Chief Counsel for Advocacy of the U.S. Small Business Administration estimates that the annual cost of federal regulations in the United States increased to more than $1.75 trillion in 2008.
