The questioner could have asked the question better, imo, and Senator Sanders could have examined/redirected. Need to know the kind of business and the kind of regulations the guy's complaining about, imo. And I don't like Raw Story's headline/interpretation.

That comment about being kicked in the teeth and all the taxes he is facing under obama as a small biz is BS. He should have asked "which tax in Particular" and what is your annual revenue? My guess is his comment was purely anecdotal/hyperbole

they don't have the money to buy off inspectors and to avoid taxes and fees. These are not worse under Obama though. It has always been the case.

Are they in the Butt-Hurt Clan?

I try not to go to those click bait factories because my screen always freezes up with all their ads. So I don't know much about RS.

But that's twice in the last week they've printed a bull shit headline concerning Sanders. That phony interpretation is on purpose.

Yeah, I turned on the show just as that douche was asking that question. I was ready to throw a shoe at the tv. If it were me, I would have called they guy out. But that's me - Bernie isn't going to go after someone for asking a question

I smell another Joe The Plumber.

My partner did a quick google search and found some towing company. But we didn't spend any time on it so I'm not sure. But I will say, I'm pretty confident mr. marbles in his mouth is no captain of industry.
