TB does have a point. The red tape involved in starting and operating a business needs to be reviewed and updated so it protects the public without causing needless obstruction and waste.

And of course, the legitimate needs of business for a more streamlined and just regulatory environment should never be used as an excuse to let business abuse the consumer, the worker, the environment or public safety and health.

Unfortunately, people today are more concerned with finding a job, feeding their families, and saving their homes than with alleged inconveniences to entrepreneurs. And as you point out, the really big businesses already have all the work-arounds to red tape they need in place.
