You act as if employment is a right. It's not. As I always say, if you don't like the rules, build your own company.
Edit: 'The ability to employ people is a privilege.' I don't believe that, but as an exercise, remove that 'privilege' and tell me how many people would be able to survive long enough to have a hobby?
