gh, your request is unreasonable in-as-much as government insists on getting into any/all business, hence no business is allowed to succeed on it's own merits.
To me there is a big difference between government "assistance" and government control.
Government should, IMO, remain quietly in the background and come forward only in cases of emergency (I would use the word "need", but there are plenty of interpretations of that word....kind of like "interesting" )
Benevolent dictatorship is not....repeat NOT what this country is all about. Want jobs? Cut back on the demands placed on the employer. As an employer, he/she is entitled to a profit instead of being sucked dry by demands which spell the death of a company.

Let me add this as an edit: It seems to me that we now live in a time of continual "emergency". We listen to the "Be Afraid" hype promoted by every special interest group imaginable. I'm guessing it comes from most folks never having experienced any sort of real emergency, nor chosen to step into the path of danger because someone needed help.
I'm done.
