And it just gets worse every year as we add layer after layer of regulations. Most of these regulations are like walking pneumonia. And virtually all licensing requirements protect the establishment, not the consumer.

No it doesn't. We saw what "less regulations" did in NC and WV with the spilling of coal ash in NC and the leaks in WV among MANY others...Regulations are necessary so fat cat corporations don't try and make more profit at the expense of their workers. The coal mines in WV are a perfect example.

Less regulation did not spill coal ash and cause leaks. Bad business practices by a couple of companies caused those problems.
Industry wide problems - then use regulations.
Accidents that occur once or twice - just clean it up, compensate those who have been hurt or unfairly inconvenienced, and move on.
With no regulations means no government oversee to make sure safety,pay,discrimination on age,race,religion etc,hours etc. Regulations are a must. Like the Koch brothers most republicans would LOVE to get rid of the min wage laws because according to them that would help growth! I am sure it would..growth right into their pockets we would return to the old coal mining towns where the Coal Mines owned everything and you were given a check that can ONLY be used to buy stuff from the Coal Mine Store. I am also in HUGE favor of Unions. Again for same reasons.
It seems odd. The other day we had a thread in which links therein claimed that in 2012 there were 500,000 new businesses started each and every month (which I posted seemed like a lot*).
Now, a new thread apparently claiming that regulations are suppressing job growth. Wouldn't this 'suppression' also suppress the start of a new business? Or is it being argued that, say, there should have been 600,000 or 700,000 new businesses started each month?
*Several posters made the good point that an alarming number of new business start-ups fail within a year. Nevertheless, if regulations were so onerous, it seems that people would not even being trying to start a new business in the first place.
