Government can't help, it can only hurt

The regulations prevent the 99% from getting rich. The elites write the laws, have the relationships,
and have lawyers to help to protect themselves from regulations.

Government is not some kind of group of saints.

Asking the government to regulate corporations is like asking a robber to watch your house
when you go on vacation.

Good men don't need laws. Bad men won't obey laws.


Good men need laws so that they can identify the bad men for prosecution as criminals. Without a law there is no crime to punish.
