Nobody supports unrestricted business or markets! But we need to limit those restrictions - otherwise you simply have very few businesses, and very little competition or innovation.
What you think might be good tight regulation, will result in excellent monopolies by the few businesses that will remain.
More regulation, comes with a cost - it's not free to the consumer, or to the business being regulated. Who pays for these added regulations, ultimately?
You and me - the consumer.
