It kills me that a loving mother and wife can't manage to make specialty soap in her kitchen, and keep up with all the government regulations and taxes, fees, licenses.
It really makes me angry. Her little business isn't going to sink Proctor and Gamble and it's not going to let me retire early. But it is her dream. It makes her happy, and her little group of clients love her and the soap.
How many times is this multiplied across the nation? How many "little people" have their hopes and dreams crushed by government greed and regulation?
The impact in my wife's case is only a few clients losing a fru-fru soap, but what about those inventors and more serious entrepreneurs who could create jobs and grow the economy?
It's unjust, and it doesn't matter if it's just one Freepers wife with her kitchen-created soap. It's still awful.
Agreed! Socialism and Big Government kill innovation and markets. Kill 'em dead.
