Typically taxation issues get a lot more attention than these regulatory issues in discussions of government drags on the economy. But these small regulations, licenses, and approvals consume management time, the most valuable commodity in small businesses that typically are driven by the energy and leadership of just one or two people.
That's from a Forbes essay by Warren Meyer, author of Coyoteblog.com. Best line:
[W]e needed permission from the county to demolish the building the county had condemned--that cost us a couple hundred dollars and several forms.
UPDATE: Check out the follow-up post on Warren's own blog about the July 4 weekend sting on his campground.
It’s true that we don’t know what we’ve got until we lose it, but it’s also true that we don’t know what we’ve been missing until it arrives.

It just go to show that the government whether it's at the federal, state, and/or local level really know how to waste taxpayers' money and time.
If that example about the condemned building doesn't prove that government at all levels are only interested in the money they can squeeze out of taxpayers I don't know what will.
