-- bring your attention a story in today's Wall Street Journal it's about the power of bureaucrats to kill small business -- my take on the vindictive.

And have a growing power of government.

In 2007.

A small Internet sales company was just getting started to expand it imported some new machinery.

Environmental Protection Agency impounded the shipment at the dock on the ground that it have labels that could be straight off with a razor blade.

Which would make them subject to tempering.

The business owner pleaded face to face with the bureaucrats that they town hall style a wanted to confiscate the entire shipment.

To -- a long story short the business -- eventually paid a 101000 dollar off the fine -- and the machinery was let through.

The point Pia is the vindictive power of bureaucrats who can impose to the -- This degree the most -- Cuba and detailed regulation.

It is a business -- and we should point out the endless expansion of government under this president.

Two years ago the Small Business Administration that is an entity of government the SBA said.

Regulations cost businesses 101500.

Dollars per employee two years ago heaven knows what it is now.

My heart goes out to people trying to stop a business these days this government just doesn't like Q.

Completely -- and it's not just regulations it's taxes it's health care costs it's the unknown that we face in the future for people are free to start businesses right now I think we are living in a very business unfriendly environmentally.

Just -- health care costs when was the last time when -- -- Obama -- was mentioned as a big -- thing coming -- -- raising the cost of doing business -- -- talked -- -- the long long time.

We gonna get a judgment on it.

Before the end of June as we said with a -- -- -- -- unknown and is preventing people.

-- and the president never talks about it and here it comes you can -- -- and right action going on the signature his signature piece of legislation and he doesn't brag about it that says everything he never mentioned never mentioned that the -- up.

You know he's I think he's open people kind of forget about it -- -- a good.
