Being in business for yourself is hard. There are countless challenges.
How can we rationally, as a society, say that small businesses are a corner-stone of our economy and then turn right around and screw those very same people over 8 ways from Sunday?
Its not about being a 'Capitalist Society' its actually the exact opposite. The Government sets the rules of the game. The rules seem to be constantly changing and are disturbingly not in favour of small businesses.
Perhaps the Government feels like Small Business owners are too uppity or are succeeding too much despite all evidence to the contrary.
Or maybe they're morons who dont understand the economic concept of a solid tax base as opposed to the strong fiscal policy that is the equivalent of mugging a liquor store.

Exactly. The government even has their own racket going with Energy Efficiency Alberta, not subject to any of these conditions.
They can pay whatever wages they want to and there's no requirement to turn even a fraction of a profit. Margins are a fool's game Locke.
