#1 Personally, I believe that "Progressivism" is a conspiracy by second raters to grasp social/economic positions that, otherwise, would be totally unattainable for them.

#2 Big business loves big GIVERnment. And did Hank notice that GIVERnment has grown exponentially the last 30, 40 years? I think big GIVERnment is winning; not losing.

#4 When your perspective is power and control (and graft), you can't comprehend a 'free market'. The natural environment of a 'free market' is chaos, it's natural selection. By its own environment, there are winners and losers. Things break and something else takes its place or picks up the pieces and it gets rolling again. There is no perfect, there is only better. Central planning and control have demonstrated repeatedly that it is not a better alternative.
