The general "too much interference" applies across the board, and it's worse for small businesses, who usually lack in-house lawyers, accountants, and other such personnel to deal with it daily. I left retailing in 1985, service in 1999, and firearms in 2002, and while there were a number of compelling reasons, too many taxes, and too much regulation were strong parts of it.

If the average Soccer Mom had to put up with the Mickey Mouse rules businesses are subjected to, there'd be a revolution in this country. The average person has no idea how onerous it is.

Yes. I agree 100%. It is interesting though that this idea of interference didn't bother anyone when it was the FDA, but they can hinder small scale food producers just as badly.

Thanks
