“Andy Puzder, the CEO of CKE Restaurants, the parent company of Hardee’s and Carl’s Jr., should know.

CKE now operates restaurants in 30 foreign countries. ‘Under the current U.S. business climate, regulatory and tax restrictions tend to curb otherwise dynamic entrepreneurial energy,’ Puzder said. ‘Unfortunately, it’s easier for our franchisees to open a restaurant in Siberia than in California.'”
