I have 2 friends that own small businesses that employ 10-12 people.

Both could easily double their business, adding jobs, local economic activity,
etc. Neither does (one did once and paid the price) because they claim that 80%
of the additional profit would go into taxes, complaince, code conformance, etc.

Why do the extra work just to pay taxes?

So when zippy or any other meathead politician laments jobs growth please
realize that they know damn well their b.s. is one major component of job
stagnation in the private sector.

"Unfortunately, most Americans seem totally apathetic about these issues. They seem content to wear “meggings“, watch “Honey Boo Boo” on television and let our government and corporate overlords run everything. Most of them have even been brainwashed into believing that this is the American way of doing things."

Unfortunately it wont change as long as they keep getting the free lunch. I know... nobody "wants" to be on welfare but... they "want" even less to work if they don't have to. The answer is a better education system and less government.
