EVery year, An American Family of four pays more than thirty-two-hundred dollars in what we call a “Lawsuit Tax” to cover the cost of lawsuits. I OWN A CHAIN of Restaurants, and Businesses like mine are an easy target for abusive lawsuits. So instead of creating jobs I’M forced to spend money fighting lawyers who are looking for new ways to take advantage of small business owners.
