That is it in a nutshell. In a few years only large corporations with staff to deal with all the regulations will be able to do business because the small guy will never be able to run his business and keep up with all the regulations. Not to mention they are expecting a degree of schooling that many of these guys do not have to just read and understand their regulations and that is when they do not have contradictory regulations(many times in the same book)
Try starting a trucking company. It is madness.
100 years ago corporations needed governments for stability
today governments need corporations for stability.
politicians desire large corporations since it just easier to deal with one big donor. Since the politicians have no respect for right vs wrong, they don’t and can’t understand the individual electorate.
