Entrepenership is not dwindling because of regulation written by wall street. Expansion is non existent not because of the same. 93 million people are not out of work because of the ghost regulation you allude to. It is because of regulation pushed, talked about and signed into law over the last decade. It is because of the cost these regulations impose on people.
I asked one person who post the same propaganda you do to go start a business. Tell us your five year plan. Just how much, factoring in the ACA, EPA regs, possible union costs, what your overhead to run that business will be each year. At this point you can't do it.
Off shoring american jobs? ****, why start a business here taking into account the factors above when it is so much cheaper elsewhere? The current policies of higher taxes and other regulations is counter intuitive and stupid. It is as if your compadres WANT the system to fail. You a fan of the cloward and pivens strategy?
That is what is stifling jobs in America. That is why we have non existent GDP growth. Get government out of the way and keep the socialist policies, and your semi socialist policies, out of the way.
In the US today, small business is being strangled. Not by big government, but by multinationals. Multinational corporations absolutely steamroll small business in ways that even the old soviets could not. Consider the cumulative effects of the following advantages multinationals have
1. Lobbying firms to bribe politicians
2. Bulk volume buying
3. Regulations that hurt small businesses but give advantage to dominant monopolies (see 1)
4. Advertising (control of media)
small business cannot hope to compete, which is why buyouts and mergers devour them if they somehow even begin to turn a profit
