And as that guy said, "Now for the other side of the story".

Very often entrepreneurs, erstwhile businessmen and women all, champions of capitalism and advocates of competition, are the folks who are demanding stricter regulations, higher fees and bigger bonds.

Y'see, they don't want to make it easy for others to get into the business, whatever it is. I'm most familiar with construction, where I've seen it over and over and over. Your basic capitalist wants higher educational requirements and higher bonds most of the time, more expensive licensing, stricter licenses, all for the primary purpose of limiting competition.

There's a bit more to this story than simply whipping big government for stifling capitalism, big government shutting down the little guy. In fact, there's a lot more to these stories that doesn't fit an anecdotal "ain't it awful the government is so big, so powerful, and so hell-bent on destroying all that is good". Governments are basically run by business, and only regulated in the most egregious matters.
