Once again I notice you ignored the possibility that only 'big' companies have the resources to indulge in crony capitalism and deter competition from new and small companies. We live in an age of profit "uber alles", an age in which the only obligation companies have is to earn profit for their stock holders.

To deny that there are those out there who place money and profit above all other things is to deny reality.There is a dark side to human nature that Bastiat in The Law referred to as the ‘common tendency’ of ‘mankind’ ‘when they can’ to ‘live and prosper at the expense of others’."

The only people I know of who blame big government to the exclusion of human nature and confuse capitalism with cronyism, crony capitalism, and fascism are communists, marxists, the OWS protesters.

That's a bunch of nonsense. Just look at the companies algore lobbied for or Solyndra. You don't have to be a big company to benefit from cronyism. All you have to be is connected. I guess if what you say were true you could show us that the global economy isn't competitive....with all that crony capitalism going on out there. But you can't show it because it doesn't exist anywhere else but in the fever swamp of your imagination.

You can keep posting the same indefensible nonsense all you want but you have no idea what you're talking about and sound no different than all those losers congregating in Zuccotti park.

You are most definitely a big government advocate who doesn't have a grasp of basic economic theory. You also have a twisted understanding of human nature. But that's another topic altogether. How big government types consider themselves conservative is a mystery.
