This is what you get when you vote for more government

In Florida, Blacks and Hispanics who routinely vote for the party that continues to grow government to infinity are angry about the government’s latest trend: police raids on barbershops in search of unlicensed barbers.
“As many as 14 armed Orange County deputies, including narcotics agents, stormed Strictly Skillz barbershop during business hours on a Saturday in August, handcuffing barbers in front of customers during a busy back-to-school weekend.
It was just one of a series of unprecedented raid-style inspections the Orange County Sheriff’s Office recently conducted with a state regulating agency, targeting several predominantly black- and Hispanic-owned barbershops in the Pine Hills area.
In ‘sweeps’ on Aug. 21 and Sept. 17 targeting at least nine shops, deputies arrested 37 people — the majority charged with “barbering without a license,” a misdemeanor that state records show only three other people have been jailed in Florida in the past 10 years.”
The same government we are calling racist with this foolishness is the same government we want to increase in size.
When a government agency has the time time to raid barbershops to check on barber license statuses, it is too big and needs to be checked…hard.
It also happened in California a little over a year ago.
