There is no such thing. Capitalism has nothing whatsoever to do with cronyism. The two are antithetical. If you want to be precise, just call it "Cronyism" or "Crony Corporatism", but leave capitalism (the innocent bystander) out of it.Doug Deannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5802868533030172199.post-26818080970784788572011-12-27T12:17:30.282-06:002011-12-27T12:17:30.282-06:00Excellent clarity Tim, thanks!

That was the original American Dream." Exactly! One thought that follows is this; while good men/women go about their days producing, 'good' government protects that right. However, the surest sign that we no longer have good government is that good men/women must stop their daily endeavors to attend to the deadly contagion that has become the government. After all, when good men/women are busy putting their creative energies to use, that's when corrupt governors sense opportunity. They are enabled! The likely citizens observing at that point are those with a hand held out. When bad government takes from Paul to feed Peter they can always depend on Peter's vote!Maxhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09570982208086606842noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5802868533030172199.post-14184418100431058652011-12-26T07:48:55.277-06:002011-12-26T07:48:55.277-06:00Self-sovereignty requires only a self.
