Yeah, we’re the frog that they are boiling, but what does that have to do crony capitalism?

I don’t remember - trying to count my soda cans for recycling. Hard to multi-task under such pressure;)

That's how they put the fire under the pot. Every favor dished out by government in exchange for money to any individual or organization is a loss of freedom for the rest. Things like Obamacare don't come into being on their own. You can thank the medical insurance industry for that one. They lobbied heavily for it, contributed to politicians they thought would support it, and wrote nearly the entire document.
