These are a few things required in Utah your state will also have its requirement. The federal government has theirs too. Educate your self as to what a business has to do and you may begin to understand why they move to other countries when they get large and why small businesses fail.

Answer 1

The gov't needs to stay out of private business as much as possible.

If business was ran like the gov't, the USA would crash within a week.

Answer 2

More government involvement & regulation invariably results in more expense for a business. Of course more expense can mean the difference between a business earning a profit, or operating at a loss.

Altho many folks perceive profit as a "bad" thing , by definition a business must earn a profit or it ceases to be a business. While I completely agree w those who point out the recent obscene levels of profit reported by firms such as Exon/Mobil , the folks who own shares of their stock have probably not complained too loudly.

We as consumers demand competitive pricing for both products & services or we seek those products elsewhere. Meanwhile employees are clamoring for better wages & more attractive benefit packages.

Caught between these two diametrically opposed objectives it is a matter of survival when some firms choose to relocate jobs in markets w less costly labor, either in another state , or regrettably in another country.

Minimum & living wage mandates are other examples of well intentioned government involvement which alters efficient operation of the free market system & changes theability of a company to remain competitive.
