I always felt “they” were doing everything possible to force me to close my doors. It seemed as if “they” (everything from workers comp to insurance to the city,state,feds) all had their hands out. As if that was not bad enough rules were always being changed that cost more money.

I felt they want to deal with a handful of large companies instead of 50 small ones. The large company can afford to hire people to make sure all rules and fees are followed and paid where the small guy is overwhelmed.

A better description of they, would be parasitic paper pushing bureucrats who make a living by stealing the wages of the productive members of society.

The same predators who would happily cook the Goose that lays the golden eggs

You're right. The government doesn't like small business and big business doesn't like small business either.
