that's govt. helping business to screw the taxpayer. The Democrats have
their own share of baggage of course, but it would be silly to pretend that
the Republican Party's first concern isn't always the profitability of their
corporate sponsors. But they don't arrange that via free enterprise, they
arrange that by stacking the deck in favor of those who direct hundreds of
millions of dollars in lobbying and campaign funding their way. The drug
companies spend a hundred million a year on buying influence in Washington,
and it seems to be a good investment.


Just like the Dems in their attempts to institutionalize
intimidation by the unions and the trial lawyers. Just a difference is
who is getting the benefits of the stacking of the deck.
