This is not the result of Capitalism is the result of Governmentalism.

  What are you saying? Regulation is how you prevent raw capitalism from blindly spewing negative externalities. Even Lenin came around to that idea eventually.

    You cant steal from tax payers if you dont have access to tax payer's money.. Companies misusing public funds, and government allowing them to do it is an exemplary case of why people want smaller government. Because it does these kind of things.

      The opposite of a bad government is not a smaller government but a better government. Your same arguments could be used to argue that a bigger gourvenement with more authority on companies could be a solution. Ultimately size is just a poor proxy for performance of a government and we need to start thinking in term of transparency and capabilities

        > The opposite of a bad government is not a smaller government but a better government Except if you think all government is bad government. There is no reason to believe that chicago should raise taxes to prevent chicago from selling its taxpayers.
