That's a fair comment. Your comment about the use of hyphenated names was a generalization, as was my response. I should have worded it that way, but I am still unclear as to why you and MM claim that hyphenated names are bad. Exactly what harm do they cause? Can you point to any specific examples? Or give the circumstances under which the use of a hyphenated name has changed the way someone acts?

If I follow your comments correctly, you do not deny that we have an unlevel playing field, but you think the government should not try to be part of the solution to that problem. I would think that is exactly the sort of problem the government should try to address. Meanwhile, people should do their best to be self-reliant.
