"If regulatory growth froze in 1980, we would today be approximately $4 trillion richer! The Cost of Regulations: If the cost of regulatory accumulations ($4 trillion) were a country, it would have the 4th largest GDP in the world.

Rayn: #TaxationIsTheft

Marilyn M.: totally, totally agree with tammy. shame, shame on whomever is responsible for this “victory” (whose victory ?) tax
