over-legislating business practices

maryland governor bob ehrlich vetoed the Fair Share Health Care Act essentially targeting one of maryland's top 10 private employers.

the republican governor may face political repurcussions in heavily democrat maryland. but a local op-ed piece effectively sums up arguments against the legislation noting "that profits are a good thing...Only profitable companies grow and create more jobs."
the legislation, backed by a labor movement in decline and potential wal-mart competitors, could have led to significantly more business legislation which proves a failure in the stagnant european economies.
