Maryland Lawyers and Politicians Want More Regulations
By Lance Winslow
We know that in
Maryland, which some call “Merry
Land” due to its completely liberal
skew that Sarbaines Oxley laws
were born. These laws no matter
what anyone will tell you, have
done more to upset our trade deficits
with China than any other single
factor. Senator Sarbaines is not
even running for re-election now,
which is smart because he would
have major opposition and who
ever was close to beating him
would have on hell of a bank roll
to do it. It is hard to say really
which is worse; Osama Bin Laden
hiding in a Cave or Senator Sarbaines
who lives in a box (opinion).
Last year a Maryland legislator
decided we need more regulations
on franchise companies in their
state? I respectfully disagree
with any additional franchise
legislation. There is already
too much and it is choking America's
economic system. 2/3 of every
consumer dollar goes through a
franchise, 10% of all people are
employed in small business, of
those the most successful are
franchised. Putting up barriers
to entry, increased cost as we
move out of a recession will further
destroy your tax base and growth.
It is anti-small business because
large franchisors can absorb such
additional costs and smaller start-up
entrepreneurial franchise systems
cannot. Just recently a lady from
a church in Maryland called us
and asked for a gift certificate
for a silent auction. The church
was raising money to fix up houses
for people without means after
the winter storms, a noble cause
indeed.
We could not help her or give
her a gift certificate because
we are not franchising in Maryland
and do not have franchisees presently
in that state. Why are we not
providing jobs and franchising
in Maryland? Those people with
no means might have means if they
had a job, right? Your state would
have a larger tax base with more
jobs, right? With a larger state
budget from a larger tax base,
Maryland legislators as leaders
could do more to help humanity
right? Isn't that why they joined
in the game, to do what is right?
Hmmm? Of course it is. But we
do not franchise in Maryland,
because it is hostile with over
burdensome current franchise registration
laws and want to add more? The
two worst franchise registration
states are CA and Maryland, interesting
they also have the most lawyers.
The bill does not help consumers.
That is a farce and falsehood
at best. Example, the consumers
in this true story above. The
consumers who go to that church
who would like a little help from
a franchisor and their franchisee,
which normally would be no problem
if we did business there in your
state. The people with no means
who have lost their jobs; they
consumers too. Yet they consume
very little without a job or money
as a matter of fact with their
houses and domiciles in disrepair
they are lucky to have not frozen
to death or starved this winter.
The Maryland Legislature should
read Ayn Rand one of these days.
It hits the mark. In our franchise;
www.carwashguys.com . We wash
cars at offices using 3.1 gallons
of water per car (the most efficient
carwash in the world), helping
the drought and providing a wonderful
service and of course jobs. Something
the residents of Maryland need,
a car wash. We also have been
blessed with success, allowing
us to do car wash fundraisers
for kids groups and non-profits
in our territories of service.
Non-profits and kids groups desperately
need the money now more than ever
and we are happy to do our part:

We help people with community
policing at a time when budgets
are cut short and DARE programs
are being cut.

Did you also know that this program
was sent to the ATA-American Transportation
Association for further modification
and added to their Terrorist Watch
Program?

And those truck drivers caught
the shooters in the area at the
rest stop. Maybe in part thanks
to our help, yes a franchise.
I hope the Maryland Lawyers and
Legislators can comprehend the
integral part franchising plays
in our society, economy and lives?
Additional over regulations hurts
consumers and country. Additional
regulations in franchising should
be avoided at all costs. Thanks
for listening; think about it.
