Gotta agree with RBB here on the NFIB portion…they’ve always been pawns of the national group and work very hard on issues that are unimportant in the grand scheme of things to their members…get behind insurance reform NFIB, be a leader for once. I used to be a member until I realized i was getting nothing from this group other than what they were doing with the State Chamber of Commerce, which in fact represents big business. Business is regulated, lawyers (which are a business) are regulated, doctors are regulated, but only the insurance industry and major league baseball aren’t subject to anti-trust laws. Wake up NFIB….WAKE UP!

As to the Mr.Knapp fellow…don’t know him.

Cap and Rape is the next step in the Hague’s plot to destroy the nation state. The Europeans started it with the EU and now you see it coming to our shores. Just wait and see. The WTO, G8, the Rothschild’s and UN will have you marching in chains.

Mr. Carr and the rest of the cadre at NBIF have always been tools of the insurance industry and subsrvient to big bidness. They’ve always been too dumb to realize that small businesses are much more likely to be sued by large business than to face any sort of tort claim. The most important resource of small business is its workers. The NFIB ALWAYS takes the side of the insurance industry when it comes to conflicts between workers and insurance companies.

Insurance reform is the single most helpful step that could assist small business in the US and the NBIB has ALWAYS fought inurance reform.

fitz fact-free postings emphasize that reality of being in the hip-pocket of the insurance industry.

Comrade Knapp and the “S. C. Small Business Chamber of Commerce” are in deed snakes in the grass. The orginazation that actually advocates on behalf of the small business community in South Carolina and across the country is: NFIB, National Federation of Small Bussiness. Over 5,000 South Carolina small businesses are NFIB members. We have nothing in common with Comrade Knapp’s trial lawyer funded cynicial organization. We believe in free enterprise, less regulation, shrinking governemnt, eliminating corprate welfare,meaningful TORT REFORM and oh so much more that Cormare Knapp and his bogus trial lawyers organization are against.

Walter Carr, Chairman NFIB-SC Leadership Council

RBB-

What’s fact free? We are bringing to people’s attention the positions this organization has taken publicly.

We oppose them, you support them.

Moving on …

Since the older Chamber of Commerce and fitz are totally-owned subsidiaries of the Insurance industry, Frank Knapp must be doing something right to draw this sort of fact-free fire.

Keep up the good work for SMALL business. Corporate welfare is rotting South Carolina. So what if lawyers belong. Members of SCAJ are both small businesses and represent people with first and last names rather than Aetna, Hartford, et al.

Coming from a weasel who can never get his probiscus far enough up Howie Rich’s arse, this thread is high praise for Frank Knapp.

The diamond back rattler is a noble breed.

It is known as the gentleman snake.

It always rattles as a warning before it strikes.

Perhaps a more appropriate animal to symbolize the SC Small Biz Chamber would be a leech or a tick.

Mandates began under Mitt Romney a few years ago in Massachusetts. Another Republican- with strong ties to the banking industry.

If you think cap&trade and government health care are good ideas you have no clue to how our monetary system works.At the rate we are going in debt right now we will be in poverty with no monetary foundation within 10-15 years…With government health care it just speeds up the clock.The politicians know this, they are not stupid.When it collapses it will give them power to re-write our whole government and make us all peasants
