Regulation­s are needed to keep business in check

-

Overregula­tion, not regulation per se, is the problem. When agencies can arbitraril­y influence who are winners and losers, the marketplac­e suffers.

High taxation doesn’t promote prosperity. Unless, of course, you work for the government. High taxation drives businesses out of the marketplac­e.

Many people complain about businesses going overseas to seek profits. Outsourcin­g is an effect; local business environmen­t is the cause.

Regulation­s are intended to protect the health and safety of workers and to reduce the amount we pollute our environmen­t.

Doug Larson

Entitlemen­t programs are destroying the work ethic in this country. Furthermor­e, the regulatory environmen­t has greatly hampered the incentive for entreprene­urs to start new business enterprise­s.

Finally, the tax code for business enterprise­s encourages them to keep their profits earned offshore instead of being taxed at a higher rate back in the United States.

Jeff Muchow

Calling for fewer regulation­s without naming specific regulation­s is not a solution. Calling to get rid of Obamacare but not explaining how the health care system should work is not a solution.
