We have much the same going on today. Various state attorney generals are on the warpath against business in hopes of furthering their political careers. Government threats and lawsuits are daily fare in the media. Unions and activist groups vilify successful companies like Wal-Mart. Capitalist villains get far more ink in the press than innovators and entrepreneurs. Fairness doesn’t exist. An Enron chief gets 21 years while a drunk driver who kills two people gets nine months. New government regulations inhibit raising capital and stifle expansion while mealy-mouthed politicians push to raise taxes. In other parts of the world, government keeps out of your hair. They don’t load you down with regulations, pension costs, health care expense, legal costs, exorbitant insurance requirements, permits, licensing and every kind of tax under the sun. What business wouldn’t think twice about building a new factory in the US?
