    The slow death of Capitalism

    Probably both. But you see, if the original legislation was written from a perspective of setting out necessary rules that are the end-all, be-all of those rules, as opposed to legislating into existence a regulatory body that is allowed to make its own rules, it wouldn't have panned out that...

    The slow death of Capitalism

    I disagree with you. The majority of regulation wasn't borne of need due to crisis. Some was.

    Oh, I'm sure it already has. That story I told happened over a decade ago. At the time, Columbus had instituted the moratorium on taxi medallions over 20 years prior. The natural evolution of such ridiculous over-regulating in our system is for a company like Uber to come along and make up a...

    The slow death of Capitalism

    We live and work in a country that was birthed by capitalism, where it is more fundamental to our identity than any other country in the world, yet more and more, those native-born to this country are adopting an attitude as if business owners are some other class, separated from "normal"...
