You really are blind to how a free market society is supposed to work, aren't you? What other areas of the market would you like the government force to be used to "level the playing field"?

I understand capitalism. I'm a CPA who have worked with small businesses for 30 years. Getting regulations changed, laws passed is all part of the "game". Winning using every legal means available is the essence of competition.

Anyone who advocates the use of government legislation to "level the playing field" by adding more government regulations and market restrictions has no understanding of the Free Market at work. Yes, the changing of regulations and laws is part of the "game", but any good business person will advocate that those changes mean less government involvement. Only a socialist cries out for more government regulation to "level the playing field".

Would you also advocate maximum incomes allowable to the citizens, to ensure that all citizens have the same chance to get upper level educations, therefore leveling the competitive playing field for "premium" jobs?
