They're not hiring because of increased regulatory burden from our government. Whatever subjective personal views you wish to attach to it are immaterial to the fact that they're not hiring. As both parties seem fond of pointing out, small businesses account for most of our employment. If 41% have stopped hiring and 19% have reduced staffing due to government action.... that's a problem.
