Federal Bureaucracy is Out of Hand

Henry Juszkiewicz, CEO of Gibson Guitar Corp states: "It's a judgment. Do you really want to spend $20 million going after Gibson? Or $20 million dollars elsewhere...there are lots of issues to spend money on. The Federal bureaucracy is just out of hand."
 
A tearful employee, Stephen Stought, from Gibson's parts division says, "I'm getting emotional about it, but it's our jobs."

An outraged Jay Jay French from Twisted Sister says he would think that "the Federal government has more important things to do, like stop drugs coming into this country, than harassing a guitar manufacturer. He says that the fact that a musician could fund himself prosecuted is as " un-American as it gets."

@KiloSierraAlpha Gibson isn't exactly a small business.

America is not a capitalist country anymore... it's now CRONY CAPITALIST country that HARASSES small businesses. We've given all these CRIMINALS on WALL ST over TRILLION dollars and they still go after small business.

SHAME AMERICA, SHAME!

Taking someone's guitar because it has a tiny strand of wood from 30-40 years ago, that is now protected, is just fecking daylight robbery

@KyCavalier And he's a Republican in the run up to a presidential election. We have to boost our image with the anti-corporate and environmentalist movements without inconveniencing Democratic donors.

@Malikon13 - It's not about the guitars, it's about tradition.

@KiloSierraAlpha Should have said, " We've given all these CRIMINALS on CAPITOL AVE over trillions of dollars of our earned money and these businesses give us the ability to do that and they still have to go after freedom and small businesses that don't fit their moral mold of what is right or wrong." SHAME AMERICA, SHAME!
