May be back when shovels and pick axes were all you needed to start a business. If you want to do deep sea drilling you need more than that. Today, if you want to start a factory finding people to do the work is not your problem. Getting the financing, i.e. finding willing capitalists, is. Don't piss them off.

Move to Massachusetts.
The Governator will loan you 32 million of taxpayers dollars to build a solar panel factory and move it to China.

The previous Governor will give you a universal health plan and then attempt to run away from it.

A CEO, a Tea Party member and a union rep all ended up in the men's room at the same time.
The CEO finished first, walked to the sink and proceeded to scrub his hands thoroughly to the elbow, saying, "I have to be clean. I shake hands over deals that exchange millions of dollars of other people's money every day."
The Tea Party member finished next, walked to the sink and barely wet his hands, saying, "I don't have to worry too much about cleanliness. I'm retired and living off of Social Security and a government-backed pension and of course Medicare covers me if I get sick."
The union rep finished his business, zipped up and headed straight for the door, saying, "You know, I felt pretty bad with my wages cut to pay for the CEO's private airplane and my retirement benefits cut to cover the losses in your pension fund, but at least I've learned not to piss on my hands."

Just run from the parts that hurt.
He still polishes that apple when need be.
