Having worked in government most of my life I can tell you that some
regulations are good -- they promote public or workplace safety, prevent
businesses from hiring children, prevent monopolies, etc.

A whole lot of them are only in place for the purpose of collecting money --
either through fines, fees, or hidden taxes -- and don't do anything for
society.

It is the latter group that most people who complain about regulations have
a problem with.
