Removing red tape has indeed been tried in America... but almost exclusively for the benefit of already large near monopolistic corporations. It has rarely happened to the benefit of small&#x2F;medium businesses. Especially if you&#x27;re talking about deregulation that happened in the financial industry in the 2000s.<p>The companies that most struggle with red tape aren&#x27;t mega-corps but the smaller companies who can&#x27;t afford teams of lawyers to fight through them, or the 
lobbyists to implement them in their favour.<p>There has been very little significant deregulation in the USA in the past two decades outside of Wall St&#x2F;big corps.<p>Context matters, except when discussing politics it seems...
