This is a factor in so much more than just this issue. For example, on basically any regulatory violation, large companies tend to comply better than smaller ones, but it's much easier to go after McDonald's or Wal-Mart than after the local mom & pops or even the mid-tier companies, and when you do go after the big guys, as you said, there's more money (and better press).

Are you serious? Big guys are untouchable. Mom & pops are struggling everywhere they can't comply with ever changing BS regulations and don't have law firms attached to them.

You pretty much 100% agreed with me. Smaller companies have a harder time complying with regulations, while big guys don't. This is sometimes a good thing (the local McDonald's is likely cleaner than the local dive), but is often just a symptom of regulatory capture.
