Is your Business really yours?

If you own a business you can't make certain decisions for your own company, the one you created through hard work, blood, sweat and possibly tears. Now businesses are being sued across the country by anyone who charges that they have been picked on even fired for non-performance of their job. How do we protect the rights of the business owner? The government has intruded into our daily lives and now businesses have to be careful about everything they do.  You can't sell to whomever you want and more and more government restrictions apply.

“There is nobody in this country who got rich on their own. Nobody. You built a factory out there - good for you. But I want to be clear. You moved your goods to market on roads the rest of us paid for. You hired workers the rest of us paid to educate. You were safe in your factory because of police forces and fire forces that the rest of us paid for. You didn't have to worry that marauding bands would come and seize everything at your factory... Now look. You built a factory and it turned into something terrific or a great idea - God bless! Keep a hunk of it. But part of the underlying social contract is you take a hunk of that and pay forward for the next kid who comes along.”

Dunkin Donuts needed him on a Friday night to bake donuts. He refused. Do employers have to coddle everyone out of fear of being sued? Who runs this show?  The guy who insists he's worth $15 an hour?
