Some countries tax and double tax business and bury them in red tape. For an interesting look into this the World Bank Group published this <a href="http://www.doingbusiness.org/ExploreEconomies/Default.aspx?economyid=172" rel="nofollow">Doing Business</a> and it shows exactly what you are talking about I think.

Few people realize that big businesses frequently lobby in favor of regulations, because regulations disproportionately hurt their smaller competitors. Truly free markets are a huge boon to small businesses. In contrast, tightly regulated markets tend to stagnate and protect a small number of large established players, who can afford to ally themselves with the regulators.

I think that's a really important concept that many people ignore. They would never dream of putting all their money into just one stock, yet they put all their eggs in one basket when it comes to jobs. It's silly. I think with the information age plodding on that nearly everyone should be able to have a few avenues to success, and there's nothing stopping many people from doing as many of them at once as possible.
