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. Businesss personal property tax, listing the values of our desks, chairs, and monitors. Sales tax four times per year. Franchise tax each year. 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.

This is a president who campaigned on "going after corporations". 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.
