Cronyism

I thought of Zombie today I was reading where everyone ( people that think like Z) want to blame cronyism for the current economic failure and it was pointed out that if the government did it's job as opposed to interfere with business by over regulating, that these guys wouldn't have a reason to lobby the government for favors.

Cronyism is just a cop out that the left is using to blame the businessmen for all of today's economic problems. Basically, its a problem created by the mixture of Capitalism with State control. Courtesy of the ARI.

The government created the need for lobbying and cronyism. If the government was stripped if its ability to sell them anything, there would be no cronyism.
Its age old, its been with us since the beginning. But back then it was land grants for rail and oil. Today with all the BS rules they have created, its a full fledge business that the stifles our entire GDP.
Its a business within the government that allows for millions to be employeed for no reason other than to carry out the governments crushing regs. zombie is but one of these individuals whos very job was only necessary by the very cronyism he bitches about.

Why?.....I try not to think about him...and its working. The left is always looking for someone or something to blame. That is their problem, they can never take responsibility for anything...It is always someone else's fault. Today its cronyism and it will be untill someone from the right comes along and refutes it then its on to something else to blame. Lemme ask you this...Have you ever noticed that it is ALWAYS the left that declares there are "problems" and they and the government are the only ones qualified to solve these problems? A conservative just goes about his business day to day and takes care of himself and doesn't concern himself with the problems lefties fabricate. Chicken Little and the sky is falling..."OH MY...We gotta do something, more government is the answer"...sound vagely familar?

The shoe fit Z. When ever I read something blaming corporations, business, the rich for everything wrong with the world, I immediately here Z's diatribe, blah blah blah.

Yes to the questions.

It comes, almost exclusively, from those who have never ventured into business themselves. It's simply ignorance (which can be cured - stupidity? Not so much)
