    By saying what you said, you have no idea what the regulations that small businesses are facing. If you dont know about a thing, just ask so you can learn and not spout off about how doing extra stuff protects me.

      I have no doubt the regulations are painful. And I’m sure at least a few of them are unnecessary or even useless rules laid down a hundred years ago and never repealed. By all means, push for reforms. But rules and regulations, as a class, are protecting you both from criminals and from larger competitors. Don’t cut the tree you are sitting on.

        Sorry man but you have a fundemental lack of knowledge here. I am not sure what you gleaned this from, or who told you this, but this is just factually incorrect.

          I’m not talking quantum physics. I’m saying that (1) in the complete absence of regulations or other barriers, the biggest company in any field will tend to become a monopoly, and (2) in return for regulations against anticompetitive practices protecting your business, you have a responsibility to follow the rest of the rules, which are aimed at protecting consumers / smaller businesses / staff / common resources from you, even if you personally might find them painful. Which of these do you disagree with?
