Regulation is good for business?!?!

[RCP]

Regulations designed to protect consumers, workers, and the environment do not have a negative impact on the job market and, in some cases, actually spur job creation, according to new research from the Economic Policy Institute (EPI).

What kind of left-wing fairy tale land nonsense is this.

I blame it on the crack.

The scary thing is that so many government officials actually believe that crap. A lot of them have no experience running a small business or working in the private sector at all. It's ding-dong playschool for these idiots and their government paychecks and benefits.

"No one believes more firmly than Comrade Napoleon that all animals are equal. He would be only too happy to let you make your decisions for yourselves. But sometimes you might make the wrong decisions, comrades, and then where should we be?" - George Orwell, Animal Farm, Ch. 5

"It had become usual to give Napoleon the credit for every successful achievement and every stroke of good fortune. You would often hear one hen remark to another, 'Under the guidance of our Leader, Comrade Napoleon, I have laid five eggs in six days'; or two cows, enjoying a drink at the pool, would exclaim, 'Thanks to the leadership of Comrade Napoleon, how excellent this water tastes!'" - George Orwell, Animal Farm, Ch. 8

"they had come to a time when no one dared speak his mind, when fierce, growling dogs roamed everywhere, and when you had to watch your comrades torn to pieces after confessing to shocking crimes." - George Orwell, Animal Farm, Chapter 7

"some of the animals remembered--or thought they remembered--that the Sixth Commandment decreed 'No animal shall kill any other animal.' And though no one cared to mention it in the hearing of the pigs or the dogs, it was felt that the killings which had taken place did not square with this." - George Orwell, Animal Farm, Ch. 8

Unfortunately this is a mindset I've seen a lot of. Some people would have no problem smothering small businesses with regulations and rules.
