  1. Senator, it’s an effective deterrent for the little companies, but appears like an unfair commercial advantage for larger ones.  It’s helping large corporation to get bigger and unfairly crushing their smaller competitors.  Sort like big banks vs smaller one or society in general.  The fat cats are getting fatter while the ordinary citizens are left to scrape by with the crumbs.
