I know the bulk of the contributors, and maybe even the readers, are progressives, but big government progress has never accomplished much good over the long term - and going after bloggers making $50 a year and requiring them to pay $300 for their 'business' is the kind of thing a bigger government will get us.   Let's hope this doesn't become a bigger problem.
