Most of the American citizens believe in the Federal Trade Commission’s original mission, although having seen the truth and reality of the Federal Trade Commission’s ten-year delay on the changes to the franchise rule and the way they conduct themselves, do we really need the franchise rule at all? Do we even need the Federal Trade Commission involved in a business model they clearly do not understand, which is so vital to our Gross Domestic Product?

Shouldn’t the Federal Trade Commission franchise division have a business library on franchising the size of any franchisor? Shouldn’t they have to in turn at a franchise company before working in that cushy job, which will most likely land them a much higher paying job in the private sector later on? Are they competent enough to do the job? Well, what say you? China has often called our government the paper tiger? What should we call the Federal Trade Commission with regards to franchising? It appears to be based on borderline incompetence, from my personal observation. It is as if the entire agency is really fake and does nothing, pretends to help the consumer, yet crushes them at every corner. Perhaps the Federal Trade Commission needs the five-point safety harness seatbelt not the industry. Who watches over their endeavors? Do they have absolute free reign on everything without regards to their actions? If so, no wonder such abuses of power go on? Who is running the ship over there? Truth, Justice and the American Way, cannot exist when the Federal Trade Commission is able to unilaterally increase franchise regulations, without the knowledge of the evolution of franchising model.

It is like an untrained doctor operating on another species. The problem is not in the franchising industry, the problem is with the over regulation of the industry. Making more rules, makes more lawsuits, case law and needs of further definitions and then more rules and regulations and job security for those unfit to lead. Enough already. The true leader in the marketplace is the entrepreneur, not the lawyers and certainly not the regulators. Think about it.
