Small business hates regulations; big business loves 'em
at least to some degree...
Having the means to hire six-figure lawyers and accountants to navigate the pitfalls and guide the company through the loopholes (not to mention having the clout to get favorable loopholes in the first place) is an enormous competitive advantage for bigger companies. Who's gonna get one of those coveted steel exemptions, Gillette or the small business just trying to buy the cheapest steel they can get to keep their heads above water?
