This is very astute. Large corporations lobby for a certain level of taxation because it keeps potential startups from entering their market share.

This doesn't make a lot of sense to me. Most startups lose money at first, thus their tax loss carry forwards are worth more.

The regulation I run up against is "accredited investor" status. It says Americans can't invest into certain ICOs unless they are already rich --- which is actually the point of investing in ICOs.

Good example is the UK ‘green belts’, nowadays weaponised to preserve ugly brownfield land and exclude less affluent from London commuter towns.

"Rich" and "powerful" are different things. Correlated, but different. Your point is still valid, though

I think most people don't realize the extent of regulations and how they benefit people. Clean air and water, food and drug safety, auto safety, building codes for safer housing have saved millions of lives an generally improved quality of life for people.

Many of these are invisible to most people but make their lives better. House fires used to kill many in the US, the death rates have dropped dramatically due to a wide variety of building safety laws. Sure some regulations protect the wealthy but most protect everyone.

could you provide some examples? Because I've always associated regulations with keeping huge corporations from destroying the environment, immediately snuffing out any competition and treating low-level employees like slaves.

If you're talking about regulation as the powerful picking on small businesses, I can only see that being worse for those in entirely new markets. That is, before a major corporation creates their own version of it

MOST regulations are against the start-ups, entrepreneurs, disruptors, makers of the next revolutionary thing. THAT is why we oppose them. LEt alone the unneccessary restrictions on personal freedoms. Some are good, but not as many as "you" think.
