Feel free to disagree but I think we have both made our points.
Well, I will just leave you with one last thing then:

The kind of small business that you describe (and deride)--i.e., the one that operates under a razor-thin margin and can be adversely affected by very small changes in government regulation--is the very archetype of the creative, hard-working small business. Most small businesses, when they are not operating at a loss during slow months, often generate just enough revenue to cover expenses and make payroll. Yet such small businesses are the primary source of employment and the very foundation of our economy.

Thus, there is no economic entity worth caring more about than these kinds of ventures.
