Government and Big Business are One

The line between big business and government is very blurry. Big corporations run the government. Corporate execs get cabinet positions. Corporate lobbyists write bills. Our elected officials are funded by corporations. The oft-condemned regulations are typically scripted by corporate lobbyists and  free-market devotees appearing as “expert economists” on conservative media. These members of the corpo-intelligentsia are on the payroll of the billionaires who decry  “burdensome regulations” that create the mythical hardships for the big businesses who run this welfare state, the corpo-nanny welfare state. The so-called “burdensome regulations” are those which serve to protect the environment, consumers, and workers and, therefore, reduce the profit margins desired by the big business oligarchs who run our government.
