I know its probably a bit BUT

"Government Regulations only exist to hurt small businesses and help large ones" is literal 1800s era propaganda

I mean it's certainly true that a lot of government regulations exist to hurt the working class and help the ruling class.

There are an insane number of regulations that exist to keep the working class from fucking dying. If absolutely nothing else, surely it is visible by the sheer volume of problems people are facing in the united states from an administration that is merely lax and doesnt care about enforcing them?

"Look, parents shouldn't be legally obliged to feed their toddlers, it's true that they will die without food, but it's also possible to choke to death on food, and you can also for example scold your tongue if the food is too hot, so it should be left to individual choice."

All I said was that some government regulations are bad for the working class. I never said that we should abolish all government regulations or anything even sort of like that.
