This thread is a bunch of bullshit. The regulations that have grown under Obama focus primarily on consumer safety re food and pharma, and they are needed. Meanwhile, the administration is busy eliminating redundancy in the regulatory framework. No taxes have increased yet. This CEO is making a strategic statement, at best, probably he's really crying about sales and tough competition. The only trouble I'm seeing anywhere re this administration is from US Customs and Border Protection, they appear to be going nuts with their new power, but that's supposed to be a good thing, securing our borders and all that.
