Corporations and other forms of big business spend billions of dollars to lobby against government restrictions being imposed on them. The government rolls over for them in order to get the dough. The lack of restrictions allows big business to become reckless, eventually leading to economic downfall, which not only affects the U.S., but the whole world.
The events on the stock market yesterday are evidence of this. But it is the business’s fault. They begged and bribed their way through, pleading for no government involvement.
Yet, what do we see now? The government bailing out bankrupt companies. Apparently socialism is only available for corporations. Any time someone brings up corporate restrictions, big business immediately goes on the offensive. “Socialism!” they cry. “Pinko!” they shout. But not when bad things happen to them. We’ll still hear their cries of socialism when someone tries to stop this from happening again, but big business will continue to go running to the government for a handout when things go bad.
