there's a common meme- I've seen it here and on wing-nut sites
that regulations of all kinds- EPA, Food Safety, etc, hurt small business more than large corporations. Does anyone have any factual information about this? I'm exceedingly dubious of these claims.
I thought these were the smartest folks around? :whatever:

My husband worked for an extremely large toy company (actually one of the two largest). The "safety" regulations they passed (which the company welcomed with open arms for the reason I give below) only hurt the smaller companies as they had in house "safety" checks and the smaller companies don't.
The company has to pay for the safety complanance checks, the big toy companies can afford to have it in house (which is kind of like having the fox guarding the hen house) while a smaller company has to pay outside prices for the safety checks. With the margins a larger company can get away with (because of volume) means the difference between making it or losing everything for a small company DUmmy.

Our fire chief that passed away a couple of weeks ago was working with a Scout on his Eagle project. It was to be a playground for the little kids at church. Damn! The regulations are enough to make a preacher curse. I guess that project died with the fire chief because it's to much for a scout and ain't no one else going to go to all that trouble.

It has been known for sometime now that big corporations love regulations to drive the upstarts out.
Crony capitalism.
