Consumers often complain to the government on easy to use online complaint forms. Did you know that 70% of all complaints received by the SEC have no basis at all. It’s true. Same thing at most regulatory bodies; Business Opportunities and franchises are no different most of the complaints are false. But has the Federal Trade Commission ever done such a study to see how many are fake complaints to try to get free stuff? No, they have never studied this. If there are fewer than 1/10 of one percent complaints in franchising; why is the FTC proposing rule making changes and increasing regulations? They should reduce the disclosure, reduce the rules and let free enterprise solve the real problems that plague mankind, not add to the current bureaucracy. It is just not needed. Sure the Biz Op scams are out there and should be continually looked at. The Federal Trade Commission has so many other things to worry about without putting the final death nail in the franchising model, as middle class families of this country are struggling to make ends meet. A few of these families wish to include as part of their strategic plan to pursue happiness in business of their own. This is their definition of the American Dream and what better industry to provide that to them than the franchising model? What say you? Why is the Federal Trade Commission proposing more rules in an area of business that is geared towards creating jobs and economic growth? Doesn’t that seem counter productive to the process of free markets and strengthening our economy? Think about it. "Lance Winslow" - Online Think Tank forum board.
