The average person, though.... I'm glad you raised that, because it was a point I wanted to make in response to Stewart's opening statement. Yes, large corporations like this are those that are best suited to deal with complex regulations. Large corporations tend to like a lot of government involvement in the economy. It's the small and medium-sized businesses that have a very bad reaction to this. It's a real imposition for them, and they don't have the resources internally to figure out how best to deal with a lot of these things.
Again, it goes back to.... Perhaps I shouldn't say it's just an academic bureaucratic elite. Mind you, when I say “bureaucratic elite”, I include most large corporations as large bureaucracies.
