Farm bankruptcies on the rise according to new Fed report

#1 and #3 seem to be in direct competition. You're worried about others copying your IP, but then also cite overbearing IP issues as a problem. If IP laws were weakened, would that not make the theft of ideas even worse?

#4 somewhat relates to #2, where costs as often put on the employees to keep small businesses afloat. Large companies have the sizes to keep costs down. I would love to work for a small business, but it would mean x5 increase in healthcare and insurance costs.

#1 and #3 are not contradictory. #1 is about being undercut by firms overseas that don't respect US IP law. #3 is about US IP law being overbearing where enforced. they're basically orthogonal points.
