    “Crony” capitalism is an inevitability in a capitalist system. If someone gets enough wealth and power they will buy government influence. It’s actually an expression of the “free market” that they can buy a service that’s useful to them. Even within the private sector, powerful companies will form cartels to control the market. The only way out of this is government intervention.










  • They cut $150 billion from things such as scientific research and weather reports (to be fair they also cut propaganda networks), and added $150 billion to the war budget. Meanwhile they are taking the police state to new heights in suppressing the freedom of expression, and charging high taxes via tariffs. That’s not a smaller government allowing you more freedoms, if you support this administration as a libertarian you are very confused. I remember when you guys acted like you were against war and the surveillance state!
