Government sneakiness includes:

-Lowering one set of taxes, but raising another to make up for the shortfall (as N.J. did with real estate taxes).

-Inheritance tax (confiscation of wealth for dying).

-Workplace safety (mainly manufacturing)

-Child labor (all industry)

-Minimum wage (low-skilled jobs)

-Anti-trust (all industry)

-Insider trading (brokerage)

-Discrimination (all industry)

-Reasonable accommodation for handicapped / special needs (all industry)

-Much more

There are negative consequences to some of the above protections, but overall there is far more good than bad provided by the above protections and regulations.
