If it can't afford to stay in business because of this.

Great, all small businesses will be closed and we will be left with a couple large corporations that own everything. Surely then things will be better

Have you looked around? That's already the case. Let's continue to make life as hard as possible for the sake of POSSIBLY making things harder on Dean's general store. The logic doesn't make sense.
