Saturday I went to a local place to get an alignment on my car. I went to a local place because they are very helpful, even when you don’t want to buy anything. The first thing I noticed was that there was little business. The owner greeted me, took a quick look, asked a few questions and got the process started. Because there was little business, we got to talking.
Eventually we got around to politics. We were talking about government regulation and minimum wage. He said something I wish that the politicians could hear and care about. He said if it was not for government demands he could hire three more people. When I was there on a Saturday he had three employees on the job. He has to pay them even when business is slow. I don’t know who else he has working. Three more people could have jobs if not for extra taxes and the burden of paperwork.
No wonder the economy is in the tank.
