People may not think of federal government regulations as hidden taxes, but their total cost drains nearly $15,000 a year from the budget of every American family.
"Federal environmental, safety and health, and economic regulations cost hundreds of billions, perhaps trillions, of dollars annually over and above the official federal outlays that dominate policy debate," said Clyde Wayne Crews, vice president for policy and director of technology studies at the Competitive Enterprise Institute.
Have I eaten rat? No. Am I fine with that? Yes. I would prefer regulating the meat that can be used instead of eating mystery meal that was bought on the cheap so a big corporation can make the highest profit.
So you dont actually comprehend the thread it appears.
Why does it cost $15K PER YEAR PER FAMILY to keep rat meat out of McDonalds?
Maybe it does, maybe it doesn't, but I am gonna stick with supporting regulations on our food industry, so fail on your part.
Who proposed removing regulations on the food industry? Thats not what the fk the threads even about, its about the COST of those regulations, and the stupid OP's claim that its being paid by the burger flipper.. Its NOT..
Then why did you bring up food in a political conservation? You brought it up, not me.
And if you think federal regulations about food (what you were talking about) isn't political, then you might be somewhat shortsighted.
Urban is just another one of those, "government can do no wrong, so whatever it takes" cooks.
When I managed a McDonalds, we had about 300,000 customers a year, and the number of visits we had from the government was about once.
Urban wants us to believe that 300,000 customers a year, each family paying $15K (for a total cost of $1.1 BILLION (i.e. family of 4) is what cost to have the one government employee come in and spend about 2 hours in our shop.
Their beyond histerical.. Its almost pathetic and sad.. especially given this thread doesnt have a dam thing to do with government regulating horse meet out of hamburgers, it costs IN ADDITION to taxes paid. Our government inspector was already taxpayer funded.
Most of the "conservatives" on this forum are buger flippers with the asperations of being a franchisee. I feel sorry for some when I hear their hard-luck stories...Not all conservatives are "fat-Kats".
Keeping the Hope alive.
Most of the conservatives on this forum know how to spell "aspirations".
I am not going to listen to another right wing nutcase who thinks that single persons without any children should foot the tex bill! PERIOD!
