re: #496 Kragar (Proud to be Kafir)

Okay, see, to me, not really. I’ve explored what it would take me to start my business, and it would be an incredibly small amount compared to the cost of health insurance for myself. The entire bunch of frees and licenses I’d have to get (which wouldn’t be many) is much less than the cost of health insurance for a single person policy.

Yeah, the regulatory burden for some things is high, and in many cases it’s excessive. But it’s definitely not for me, and it’s definitely not across the board. It depends entirely on what the business is.

I do think the government tries to influence stuff way too much with specific tax and regulatory targeting, but I don’t think there’s too much regulation, just badly designed and awkward regulation.
