text: Just like there are good and bad people in the world it is no different with people running a business. Every law passed regulating businesses makes it harder for the small business owner to be profitable and with less businesses competing against each other we end up with less choices and less probability for having a good honest person running a good honest business.
  
  Also if you don't like how certain businesses pay or treat there employees, don't spend your money there! Sadly we are slowly regulating small businesses out of existence, so we really don't have too many options available.
  
  If the government cares so much about the employees why not offer a tax break to businesses paying a "living wage" to their employees. Reward good behavior or acknowledge it.
