Same thing with regulations. Hurts the small business. My family runs a medium sized business doing development the gov stopped any additional development in one of our areas. They effectively killed our competition and gave us a monopoly. We are too small to have political sway but large companies do this all the time.

Think about this. Youre a mining company you back some Dems they increase regs on mining. All the small mines are now unfeasible so you buy them up. Then you fund the GOP to get rid of them. Boom insane returns.
