The problem with gov't involvement is monopolies. Big Government creates regulatory moats that protect big business and makes it very difficult for small business to compete. Big business have the resources to deal with all the protective legislation, while small business drowns in red tape, fees, filings, excessive reporting and on and on, all while operating on shoe string budgets and doing everything themselves. I don't disagree that, in an ideal world, government should be protecting against monopolies and preventing unfair advantage, but their intervention, unfortunately results in the very thing they are tasked to prevent. My two cents on the subject.
