Well, half the country is employed or self-employed by small business.

If they want to fix this f*cked up economy, they need to make it EASIER
for people to start/run their own enterprise. With all the occupational
license fees, the states should be helping out their 'customers'; not
making more hoops to jump through.

I have to pay the state of Texas for the 'privilege' of operating
legally (~$700/year). I also have to collect sales tax for Texas.
You're right, if I had to do that in every state I would not have any
margin for profit.
