From the book \"The State vs. The People\" by Claire Wofe.

According to the US Small Business Administration's own figures, in 1995 the annual cost of regulatory compliance for a business with fewer than 500 employees was $5,000 per employee. Thus, a neighborhood retail shop with five workers could expect to spend $25,000 per year just to meet federal regulations - enough to provide another job, or to hire local contractors for significant work. \"

The State wants to put the small businesses out of work. See the book \"The Adventures of Jonathan Gullible\" for how it is now illegal to work. And the cops have a right to shoot and kill the barber that does not have a license.

The State wants slaves to work for corporations. They don't want upstarts, independents, small business owners, entrepreneurs. The revolution is the small business owner, without government intervention.

Then they would not have to spend the $25, 000. Of course, if many of them were not ready to do these things at the drop of a hat there would be no need for the regulations in the first place. Anyone who doubts this should do a little historical research and find out how US businesses, large and small, used to behave before there were any regulations.","author":"Meyer London","parent_id":90219,"mime_type":"text\/plain","created":"2003-10-23 14:17:24","modified":"2003-10-23 14:17:24","fileurl":""},{"id":90274,"heading":"More likely, ML...","article":"...the business would just fold and put people out of work.\r\n\r\nDude, you seriously need to get over this "EEEEVIL KKKorporations want to kill everyone and burn the planet down to bedrock!" mentality.\r\n\r\nKinda tough to make a profit when you kill off your customer base.\r\n\r\nDo you see the sense in that, or would you rather keep believing anyone with a CEO title wants you dead?","author":"nonanarchist","parent_id":90219,"mime_type":"text\/plain","created":"2003-10-23 18:49:14","modified":"2003-10-23 18:49:14","fileurl":""}]}
