I’ve been saying it all along. If you want to eliminate a lot of crony capitalism, just eliminate corporate taxes and most of the regulation.

The taxes and regulation provide nothing but incentive to pay off politicians. John Stossel makes a good case when talking about Microsoft. Before the government went after them on the anti trust thing, they paid nothing in lobbying. Today they spend $100 million per year.

You are correct. Another tactic to minimize corruption is to comply with Constitutional limits. Private welfare or education spending, for example, aren't authorized in the Constitution.

That makes too much sense to ever happen.

Cain's 9-9-9 plan institutes a flat 9% corporate tax. That would help.
