This sums it up

I'm usually a few days behind on the news, so I really like quoting insightful people from the more distant past. This stuff is timeless.

Although I wouldn't necessarily set up Ayn Rand as a role model for my daughter, she did have some good thoughts, and this quote is a concise description of what's happening and has happened from the federal level to supposed deregulation at the state level:

One of the methods used by statists to destroy capitalism consists in establishing controls that tie a given industry hand and foot, making it unable to solve its problems, then declaring that freedom has failed and stronger controls are necessary.
