Next we is to implement universal healthcare, then your senility will kick in (again) and you will forget who paid for what, just like you stopped keeping track of who paid for the pavement on your street.
The federal government did not "pave my street".

Maybe a wobbly and backward spin. "Scumbags with a free ride"? That's pretty funny. Where would these people work without the 'scumbags' willing to take a risk to start a business. Here's a newsflash: Contrary to leftist logic, businesses aren't started to benefit the employees. You make the owner assume all the risk and eliminate the profit, what do you think happens?
Yes, businesses pass their costs along, building the cost of delivery into the pricing structure. That's how they turn this thing called profit. I know, profits are evil and all.

Then this guy is in the restaurant business which means food:
Which there was a drought, then there was the care act, then there is all the talk of new taxes being levied.
Grain prices have soard the past few years, so has fuel which makes everything more expensive at the same time the continued devaluation of the dollar.
Which means the dollar buys less than it does each and every day.

What true colors? Corporations have one single obligation and that is to their shareholders. They arent in business to make less profit in order for the government to enrich themselves, or to make their employees lives better.
If they did allow profits to take a hit without doing anything and everything they could to prevent it from happening, they would be negligent in their fiduciary duty to the stockholders.
As was said before, people do not go into business, put their capital and finances at risk, just so they can contribute more to society or to make people feel good. People go into business for one reason and one reason only: to make money.
That reason is 100% correct, and government does nothing but make the cost to the end consumer go up.
