In Atlas Shrugged, Ayn Rand wrote: "There's no way to rule innocent men... When there aren't enough criminals, one declares so many things to be a crime... that it becomes impossible for men to live without breaking laws"

In just one year, Washington's regulators added 80,000 pages of regulations. Additionally, there are state and county regulations. Even worse, the regulations are ambiguous and subject to change. This is why big business is determined to get in bed with big government: it's a protection racket, akin to the Mafia demanding a "protection fee" from the shop down the corner. They don't want to pay that fee, so they make their way into government. After getting in bed with government, once big business gets enough power to use government to its advantage at the expense of the people it will do so. People complain about the symptoms of crony capitalism but always overlook the cause: big government.

  • @captainLAGER The boxes are a prop. They represent the regulations visually, which helps us to better picture and understand how many regulations there are in just one year.

  • @Shadow9392 - that concrete system is called a septic tank.

  • but, but, but, ayn rand is just  a racist bigoted hateful capitalist who wants to destroy the poor and knows nothing about economics or human nature, sincerely, the dumb as fuck far left

  • The government also needs more slave labor for its for profit prisons. Corrections Corporation stock price actually depends upon the number of prisoners. So, in America wages are being driven down by cheap goods imported from China, illegal immigrants and our own prison population. Prisoners in America today make office furniture, kevlar vests for police and many military items, among other things.

  • Those boxes are empty, look how they are swaying around.

  • Oh Ayn Rand...you would have been so much more sensible if you didn't turn Nietzsche's ideologies into a concrete system.

  • Being a Sovereign can be dangerous to one's health....
