Only to have it shrugged off as useless information since apparently all that matters is the fact that it is costing him money. Yeah I guess that information would be useless, unless of course you're trying to put the other info he's providing into a context to determine exactly how badly it will affect his business.

This is the fundamental problem. You merely assume, if they're a business owner, they make money. Then you suggest they need to prove real losses before they get your sympathy.
In other posts you've suggested that if a restaurant can't afford the new minimum wage they're not worth being in business anyway.
What if, you made a business starting in the 1970's, grew it, and now you have both a negative economy and new taxes with increased costs, and it pushes you out of business. All while you have supported a 1000s of employees over the years, or more, and now it may all go away.
The responses to you are not bullying as Red has suggested. There is a huge shift happening in the economy and a lot of people are hurting as a result.
