It is evident in much of regulation without exemptions written in for smaller businesses, that what cannot be attributed to malice on the part of regulators displays the lack of knowledge and foresight that leads to 'unintended consequences' for small business.

I have my doubts on these are unintended consequences.

Although small business has been the backbone of this country, the current administration is more interested in control than productive and the associated jobs.

A few large business are easier to control (and provide kickbacks) than a large multitude of small businesses.

A few large business are easier to control (and provide kickbacks) than a large multitude of small businesses.

True enough.

Someone once said 'Never to attribute to malice that which can be attributed to stupidity or incompetence'.

With this administration, though, that old saw may not hold.
