Michael Ramirez nails it again:
Most of the Federal government are professionals at one thing: government. They’ve exist for most of their lives going from one government job to another, elected post to elected post, and most of them have a government mindset, i.e., problems are to be solved by either or both of two methods: enact more laws or throw money at the problem.
They know “budget” in a way you and I and the business community do not understand. We see a budget as a means to work within the amount of money coming in. We make our goals fit within the income. The government sees what they want to do, and then taxes or borrows the money to meet their goals.
And these people are moving to interfere in the business community on a scale that is orders of magnitude greater than they ever did before.
The state can never create anything of value, but it can and continues to destroy the value of many a business through draconian regulation and taxation.
