The author's solution seems to be "Let’s crowdsource this".

I think this is a bandage. Trying to address one problem, while ignoring the root cause. How about, "thank you very much, please put me in jail, I don't care anymore"? (While you bailout TBTF banks once again?)

"Governments" are the thugs that protect the big economic interests. The big economic interests, pay the protection money, "bribes", "donations". It's symbiotic. You, me, we, are the slaves.

The bribes, are a lot for the few politicians, they are happy and rich, and nothing, compared to be able to go on having slaves, happy and big profits, for the big economic interests.

You, you try to "crowdsource" "solutions" about the fact that your chains got heavier.

Well, good luck with that approach.

I'll continue to try and help out other small indie firms run their businesses and support their families.

It's not a solution, I don't have a solution, I'm just trying to help.

If anyone has any experience in lobbying the government to look into this sort of stuff, I'd love to hear about it. My experience as a business owner since 2001 however has been that they do not care a tiny bit about our kind of business, unless they can find a way to fine us for something. Fines that could cripple a small business but would just be seen as a cost of doing business for a larger one.
