Yeah. That's just what America needs: bigger and more powerful government.

Some parts of it certainly do. For example, all those people trying to impose their will on us. Yeah, they need double heaping helpings of Government smack down.

Regarding these large, hugely profitable corporations where few people do any actual work, and most get by through some form of rent seeking, I am reminded of what Adam Smith had to say.

"People of the same trade seldom meet together, even for merriment and diversion, but the conversation ends in a conspiracy against the public, or in some contrivance to raise prices."

We have functional monopolies now, and monopolies so large that they think they are beyond anyone's control. It's time to disabuse them of that notion.

The vast, overwhelming majority of " all those people trying to impose their will on us" are in and of the government, or are using its power against us.

Regarding these large, hugely profitable corporations where few people do any actual work, and most get by through some form of rent seeking,

The biggest 'rent-seeking' entity in North America is the US Government, and the 50 or so next biggest are State or city governments. And you want to give more power to any of them?

To HELL with that!!!
