#1 on my list would be to cut down on the hundreds of hours of government paperwork required for a small businesses (or any businesses) to operate legally. I spend maybe 10% of my time on BS government paperwork. Cutting that in half for all businesses would be an instant jump in gdp.

We have a three person operation. We're required to file federal income tax four times per year. Unemployment tax four times per year. Business census yearly. Local business taxes for where our offices are and seperately for the city where kyte severs are. Business personal property tax, listing the values of our desks, chairs, and monitors. Sales tax four times per year. Franchise tax each year. Now more forms to prove we have acceptable health insurance. Need I go on?

We could increase our work force by a third if we could just file taxes twice per year instead of twenty times. All the time spend on hundreds of pages of forms could be spent training and supervising a new employee. That creates jobs.

This is a president who campaigned on "going after corporations".
I couldn't friggin believe it when I heard him actually say that on his radio commercial. BetterCGI is a corporation. Gfy is run by a corporation. Your hosting company is a corporation, as are most of your local businesses that could be providing jobs if this president wasn't campaigning on the promise of "going after" them. My better idea? Get off our backs rather than "going after" businesses that are trying to grow and hire people.

I actually had to let an employee go the other day because the darn government won't get the paperwork done. You have to file n( sooner than 30 days ahead, but it takes them 60 days to do the paperwork. So I have to fire him for at least 30 days while we wait for the government. Fix that overregulation and that's a job right here in this office right now.
