Your link is referring to regulations not yet in place.
What environmental regulations have been implemented since Obama took office/
Obamacare should help small businesses by giving tax credits for purchasing insurance.
Thanks for being specific about the other two, which, truthfully, I have never heard of. Are these new?
I don't supply health insurance for any of my employees now!
I have never been forced to have employment entitlements, for any help before. Now it is going to add to the bottom line.
Meaning a few more will be told they no longer have a job, to make up for the loss of revenue, that Obamacare mandates that I have health insurance on all my employees that I must have, or go back to being solo, without any employees. Either way, I'm in it to feed my family, not to give someone a job.
Lets look at what the guy said .....
My point is (as if you did not know), is that if he wants his business to be MORE successful, he needs to take risks. Plain and simple. Or ... he can just continue being successful.
He needs to take rational, market related risks. Government regulation does not come under that heading. It's arbitrary and often has nothing to do with reality. A regulations whole purpose might be to prop up some businesses at the expense and destruction of others.

Reason: sp
So he wants a guarantee huh? His 'widget' business could fall flat on its face tomorrow. The fact that his business is looking good for the future is all he should need to hire right now. There are no guarantees. Risk/Reward.
Quote from the movie Tommy Boy
(paraphrasing)
customer: Why do they put a guarantee on the box?
Tommy Boy: Because they know they sold you a guaranteed piece of *****(crap). If you want me to take a dump in a box and mark it guaranteed I will.
I disagree with your premiss. He doesn't want a guarantee, he just wants to know what the rules are. If the rules keep changing as rapidly as they have been he cannot plan. There are too many uncertainties today, taxes, regulations, health care costs etc.

Clearly you dont run a business and have never studied business. There is a difference between gambling, which is what is needed in todays economy, and the ability to take a calculated risk, which cant be calculated until one knows the costs. Its impossible to calculate todays costs, let alone tomorrows, and I dont gamble.

Well there's always somewhat of a gamble involved. You gamble every time you step outside of your house. The fundamental point here is that government is increasing the risk substantially, and obviously, when you increase risk, the risk to reward ratio goes down, and businesses don't take as much action as they otherwise would.
