Large corporations, unions, and civil rights and feminist groups typically advocate government regulations that impose disproportionate costs on small businesses. Indeed, the Commission's findings should be met with skepticism by anyone concerned about job creation and economic growth in the US, given small business's preeminent position as America's job creators.
