This kind of corruption gets lost in the political shuffle. Both sides of the argument want so desperately to over-simplify the issue into regulation is good/bad as a boolean decision rather than attack specific classes of regulation at their core. It's a lot harder to uncover the corruption behind bad regulation than to vilify regulation at large, which is why I suppose those who have much to gain from the argument choose to simplify it.
- JoeAltmaier 15y agoHey! Everybody benefits from simplified regulation. Of course those arguing For it benefit. And 'benefit' here means entering into fair competition with existing establishments, so it isn't really a benefit. Those establishments with 'protected status' also only 'lose' by having to be competitive too. That's not right or wrong - that's supposed to be the normal free-market ecosystem. Reducing regulation and returning to a fair ecosystem for small businesses is all that is really being proposed. There will be winners and losers. But the consumer will normally win, and there are a lot more of us.
