Not quite true. One of the dirty little secrets of government is that big businesses have a very strong tendency to be liberal. If in some field there are two companies that net $20M/year and twenty that each net $2M/year, a regulation whose compliance cost is $1M/year will likely benefit the large companies by putting all of the smaller competitors out of business.

Liberals like to blame conservatives for the excesses of big businesses, when it is in fact the liberals who aid big businesses in those excesses.
