I guess I apologize if you feel that I am seeking you out or something, I hope that's not how you feel, I hope that's the other trolls talking. I genuinely appreciate your viewpoints, and while we probably won't agree on much, I think it's pretty cool that I have access to the opinions of people like yourself. I'm not about to act like an authority in this industry, and you seem to have some of that experience. You haven't come out and accused me of this, but others have, so I feel obligated to respond to it.

We disagree on who is positively and negatively affected by this legislation. I think the 5 patient cap is there for tax purposes, you think it's there to screw caregivers. I agree with you, I think we just disagree on who put that language in the bill.

The biggest reason why I blame this on the tax issue is because that's the only way criminals get caught. Look at Al Capone. The biggest reason he got busted is because he didn't pay his taxes, not because he was breaking the law! I feel that you are ignoring or downplaying the fact that uncle sam will always get his piece. Again, when you see reports of barkowitz-size operations, of course the tax guys will look into it. Did you expect anything else?
If it was the "tax guys" doing this why wouldn't they just regulate all the caregivers too? They would make more money. That's what they're all about, right?

It's here though, so stop complaining that they should have done it this way, or they should have just enforced existing laws. They didn't, so get over it. That's why I don't understand why you can't get over discussing other alternatives like 'increased enforcement' and things, because that's not a real idea, in my opinion.
You keep assuming stuff about me and putting words in my mouth. Why?
How would I stay "under the radar" when I'm regestered, with the state, as peoples caregiver?
Don't tell me to stop complaining about a rule that goes against the state constitution. Maybe you don't understand this, but that is our duty as Americans.
"Screw it.. It's here just keep your mouth shut." What an attitude. Is that your agenda? To suppress the truth with disinformation?
