I guess I'm having a hard time understanding why this is such a noxious statement.

Laissez Faire has had its day & look where we are. Even Greenspan was stunned at how poorly self interested parties policed themselves.
Government is friend to big business and strangling the life out of all others. Regulation helps the bad big businesses stay in business, while stifling innovation and development.
