Big Business and Government

Say that you'll never, never, never need it
One headline, why believe it?
Everybody wants to rule the world
--Tears for Fears

Ron Paul and Chris Rossini discuss several myths surrounding big business and government. These myths include:

Big business loves free markets and is shackled by regulation.

Republicans love free markets.

The fact is that big business loves hampered markets where regulatory barriers protect its franchise by keeping entrepreneurial competition out. Moreover, going back to Lincoln, the Republican Party was founded on hampered markets. In particular, the Party of Lincoln favored corporate welfare in the form of tariffs, central bank control of money and credit, and government sponsored 'internal improvement' projects.

If you believe official narrative that regulation of big business is good for the people, then you are being played.
