Re: Just wondering
"Free market" is just the cover story for what is now fully crony capitalism. I'm just trying to figure out if companies capturing the government is the same as government controlling all the companies.
Seems like what you wind up with is communism or fascism either way, Total control by the few, whatever you call it.
Name a law or regulation in the past few decades that wasn't easy for a big corp to comply with using only their pocket change, but which costs enough to ban upstart little guys. I doubt you can.
Anyone, can, for example, do the same tax dodges the big tech (and other) outfits do - that stuff is legal at present. But to be legal, you have an office in the various countries involved in doing the shuffle. Which is far past the means of most taxpayers.
Actually, it's a very long list.
