I’ll let the right-wingers speak for themselves since they are half of the racket while the left is the other half of the racket, i. e. Republicans and Democrats and their crony capitalist racketeering partners on Wall Street.
Here’s reality. BIG government likes to BIG regulate to convince the populace that it’s on top of BIG corruption in BIG corporations. The reality is BIG government and BIG corporations are BIG bed fellows. BIG regulations are only BIG roadblocks to medium and smaller corporations and businesses. BIG corporations are the only institutions that can afford them because they can afford to move their operations offshore to anyplace they like and they have the loot to diversify operations into every corner of the world. They can afford all of the lobbyist it takes to bribe their political friends in government. They can afford to bribe the politicians for BIG regulations that favor them and exclude competition from the lesser healed competitors. All it takes is campaign loot, insider trading information and promises of a job once their political partner in crime leaves the government. Even high tax rates become advantages for BIG corporations because they can afford to bribe loopholes and subsidies for themselves that exclude other competitors.
The system is rotten to the core. It’s not true capitalism, it’s crony capitalism/fascism. Both duopoly parties are guilty of it. The bastards buy and sell the markets on insider information. 60 minutes exposed that. Look at where the bastards go to work once they leave office. They make more money lobbying government than they made in government. The BIGGER the government is, the BIGGER the corruption is. It’s not complicated it’s a fucking Wall Street/Washington racket. It ain’t rocket science, it’s just plain ole bribery. The most amazing part of it all is the fact that the government/duopoly racketeers are able to keep the political division at near 50% in the country and stirred up, angry and pointing fingers at each other, when in reality the duopoly bastards are all in it together, with damn few, but a very few exceptions.
