Regulations often function economically as additional taxes on society
Most people who have never run a business think that all regulations are a good thing, to protect us all from evil entrepreneurs. Little do they know how much better their lives would be without all those burdensome and ridiculous regulations from the mass of the bureaucracy. Interestingly, when they find out about the plight of the small business person, they want the government to fix it, which to me is ridiculous as they are the problem, not the solution. In discussing this, I just said; Okay, but give the entrepreneurs a little credit, we kick some ass, and at the end of the day, we’ll find a way, just get the government out of the way.
Still, the naive citizen declared; “Entrepreneurs will always win! I’m a firm believer in that. Correct me if I’m wrong, but I think that if a government taxes a company more, it also taxes people (consumers). Papa John’s What can prevent a company from increasing the slice of pizza by 50 cents to make up for losses due to health care? Nothing really, people still love pizza and the best of Papa Johns will continue to make their profits. So who the loser, the consumer, right? “
Yes, and regulations really work the same way, you put incessant regulations on companies and those companies pass on the cost of compliance. It is like a tax on the inefficiency of the population. If you over-regulate energy, resources, transportation, distribution, the same; manufacturer, supplier, vendor, commercial consumer, even worse, it is often a compound effect and most regulations these days apply to business models or industries that were never designed, but the growing bureaucracy does not care.
It is a status quo machine ‘sorry, but that’s the law’ no matter that the proposed law was drafted the day before the bill was voted on in Congress in an office of members of Congress at midnight by attorneys from a business or industry lobbying firm that donated money to a politician who is drunk at a party by leaning over a young man named from Barney Franks and Company LLC. that you’re not even present in that careful crafting in your office with interns and employees who think this is all legit, or the way of things, sure that’s the way things work there sometimes, but that doesn’t. well. Worse still, the company in question with the lobbyists, a competitor of theirs.
Personally, I’m with Trump, we need to drain the swamp, and I’d like to see them go after more congressmen hiding corruption money in a popsicle box in their DC apartment freezer, but I digress, AGAIN.
