In the report is offers possible law changes, which will screw over small business. Isn’t this so typical of the Washington DC bureaucracy with their fingers up everyone’s you know what? The Federal Trade Commission appears to want to revamp the franchise rule and effectively crush small business franchised outlets.

The biggest issue now in American Commerce is how can small businesses compete with the larger Box Stores? Well, through economies of scale, small business co-ops and franchising. But if franchising is inhibited in the market place you have in fact eliminated the competition of the giant corporate box stores. Yet small business employs over 70% of our economy. So further regulations on franchising and incessant over disclosure (190-230 page UFOCs) doesn’t help anyone as it causes the following;

Over Disclosure creates barriers to entry into the franchising field for franchisors, who have a mortality rate of 5:1 in the first five years already, yet the Federal Trade Commission claims to be pro-competition? BS, it is total protectionism, helping larger corporations against entrepreneurship. If no new industries get a foothold the older industries like text tiles, mining, steel will slowly dwindle with no new venues to buy up or expand into.

Over Disclosure decreases jobs in the private sector due to fewer new entrants. Forcing lower wages in box stores and further diminishing the middle class, whose buying power is supporting the whole world’s economies and helping new nations realize freedoms and human rights.

Over Disclosure decreases tax base; Less Jobs and commerce mean less tax base for government agencies meaning the Federal Trade Commission has less budget (Ah ha, finally good news, at least all this over regulations will help reduce government bureaucracy as you people at the Federal Trade Commission will no longer have jobs, great you do not deserve them!).

Over Disclosure decreases competition in the market place and reduces consumer choice. Forcing people to buy a one sizes fits all product lines, which is most likely made outside the US.

Over Disclosure destroys communities as individual franchised units are small businesses which support communities, where as large corporate stores often do not join local committees, service clubs, make donations, or participate in local events, chambers of commerce and support local sports teams like soccer, little league, high school bands and Boy Scouts (Oh, whoops, I am not allowed to say that as some people at the Fed
