[@Dynamo Frokane] I'm certainly not versed enough to have too big of a discussion about this. But I don't really think libertarians want to remove all of anything. You're thinking of anarchists. I know bigger youtube libertarians have discussed the whole "1800's" argument thing. So I guess my suggest is maybe look up some people. I could probably find some stuff if you don't mind widening your knowledge a bit.

Forgive me for the simple arguments, But as for restrictions on businesses. Big businesses actually sometimes lobby for tougher restrictions. You know why? Because they can afford it. Their competitors can't. America needs less restrictions on small business. Government regulation does not automatically cure or even help, things like crony capitalism. It can make the issue far worse.

Also that first link about the Trans-Pacific Partnership agreement. (Seems like more authoritarians like it than libertarians.) So not sure if you'd have to worry about that becoming a problem...

"A preliminary study by psychologist and business management consultant Paul Babiak and his co-authors found that eight of 203 corporate professionals taking part in management development programs scored high enough to be classified as psychopaths. This 4 percent is indeed four times the number found in the general population. " <- Snippet

Study about 8 people...Don't think we should be breaking out the shotguns on them JUST yet. :P

The implication in "Small business needs less regulation survive because big businesses are capable of affording regulation" is that big businesses can easily blow the small businesses out of the water without breaking a sweat. Which is to say, if your argument is true, small businesses are shit out of luck no matter what happens. If you get rid of regulation, big businesses use that windfall to price small business out of the market. They can afford to pay for better employees, and they can afford to sell their services for less. So if you are right, and the old myth about small businesses being victimized by regulation is correct, than it don't matter because those same small businesses will fail in a free market. What you get now is unregulated big businesses free to run rampant across the little guy.

As for the TPP, I'm sure Libertarians have their own pet reason for not liking it, but the main reason the common folk are quoting is that it makes it easier for American industry to use overseas labor. And it is that borderless commerce that the term "Free market" actually means. Adam Smith didn't give a fuck about taxation or environmental regulation, his deal was the ability for goods and labor to compete equally with that produced overseas.
