For 25 years, China Fun was renowned for its peerless soup dumplings and piquant General Tso’s chicken.

What left a bad taste in the mouths of its owners and loyal patrons was the restaurant’s sudden Jan. 3 closing, blamed by management on suffocating government demands.

“The climate for small businesses like ours in New York have become such that it’s difficult to justify taking risks and running — nevermind starting — a legitimate mom-and-pop business,” read a letter posted by the owners in the restaurant’s front door.

“The state and municipal governments, with their punishing rules and regulations, seems to believe that we should be their cash machine to pay for all that ails us in society.”

And he blamed the amount of paperwork now required — an increasingly difficult task for a non-chain businesses. “In a one-restaurant operation like ours, you’re spending more time on paperwork than you are trying to run your business,” he griped.

The net effect of government regulation is to make it uneconomical to run a small business, giving a big advantage to large corporations. From the viewpoint of Corporate America, this is a feature, not a bug.

Trump needs to drastically cut the Regulatory State, to make small business viable again.

This is partly why I am for term limits.

They need to LIVE under the stupid laws they make.

As it is now they usually don't and never have.

Serve for a term and then go back out to society to live with the results of what you did on the hill.
