antelope sniper, thank you for your insight. I would like to apologize to you if I sounded angry on Friday. It's not aimed at you, I'm just another pissed off business man that's trying to make ends meet.
My brother and I own a small company and employ 28 people. My guys bust their asses and have only seen 1 raise in 7 years. One of the reasons for this is the health insurance. Our rates have gone up somewhere in the neighborhood of 150% in the past 5 years. Even though we have higher deductibles and the guys contribute, the service and level of care has gone down.
I believe that the economy is ripe to take off and has been for quite some time, but this administration has done everything in their power to suppress it and turn this country into a welfare state. It's frustrating.
