“Now you're getting to the second point. You're already ahead of them. The first point is, if you want to kill jobs, take the money away from the owners of small businesses. You could say, Hey, that guy's making over 250,000, obviously having too much fun. We're going to tax him into the dirt, make sure he doesn't have a better time than we do. The only trouble is, if you want jobs, you can't destroy businesses. And that's the connection it seems like this administration, the Democrats, keep missing; and that is, if you keep talking about pounding rich people and those bad corporations, if you pound them into the dirt, there are not going to be any jobs. And that's where we seem to have this disconnect going on. So first thing is you do not want to tax those people a whole lot because you want them putting the money back into their business. The second point you're making, though, is all these regulations and redtape, it may not be a tax, but it has the same effect, doesn't it? Did you have to fill out a lot of paperwork in your business?”
