for a rather glaring perfect example look to "obamacare" the name of which should really be... "Mega Insurance company care" Those same mega companies lobbied with untold millions probably even billions of dollars to be able to WRITE the actual new laws..... They won that right and voila the country is stuck with the biggest joke of a healthcare program that has ever been seen... yet its a VERY VERY PROFITABLE program...
Across the board look at every single large insurance providers stock since "obamacare" was rolled out....Kaiser, Aetna, Humana, Cigna, Wellpoint...you name it. They have ALL nearly tripled their stock values............................................ ...............
Yet you, I, and everyone else who is not a public servant is required by law to participate in this pyramid scheme.... and if you don't.. you get slammed with repressive hidden tax.
It's the corporate version of fish in a barrel!!!
Which leads me right to my original point... IT AINT BOUT DEM CRAT'S OR DEM PUBLICAN'S .... OBAMACARE PASSED WITH STRONG SUPPORT FROM BOTH PARTIES..... because the people paying their bills (insurance companies) said it better pass!
When you look at the above versus taking a Laissez Faire attitude towards capitalism (think in terms of no government intervention, a business either sinks or swims based on its own abilities and merits)
Then the truth of what path we should be own becomes much more self evident.
simple... FOLLOW THE MONEY.... and SEE WHO BENEFITS.....

Get your facts straight, No Republicans in the House or Senate voted for Obamacare - check the roll call vote! A perfect example of crony capitalism, forced on the insurance companies by the Democrats, not both parties!!!
