Ever wonder why Congress is so eager to regulate business? Think it's to help you? Not exactly. It's because the neo-capitalists know that they can benefit from erecting barriers to competition using the government regulations. They have been using our government since the turn of the 20th Century to protect their markets and make Americans pay more for their services and products.

What do the politicians get out of it? Money and power....most importantly re-elected. Their commerical cronies....a blank check to rob you.

Now they want to force you to buy their healthcare services and charge more for internet services, when will it all stop?

Let's see what you have to say about our very helpful government regulations.

Political Special Interests

Special interests are bellying up to the bar at the lame duck Congress, we can only hope that it's over soon.

Clear as mud, look for higher prices as the big payoff takes hold.
