At present, the situation is that Big Money has government in its pocket.

Thus, because the two poles of power, private enterprise and government, are working in tandem, everyone else suffers.

Even granting this highly simplistic assumption, the glaringly obvious solution to this is to reduce the power of the government to control the flow of wealth and pretty much everything else in this country. But that never sinks in, does it? Or is it that an immensely powerful government is so damned attractive for the sorts of things the Left would like to do--if only they could get complete control of it.

To show the mental disconnect, I'd bet you'd like to see a single-payer health care system enacted tomorrow, wouldn't you? If not you, I could find plenty of others on this board. Look at the first sentence you wrote again, repeated above. And THINK.

When buying and selling are controlled by legislation, the first things to be bought and sold are legislators.
