A great story ruined by the last paragraph. An unhelpful unnecessary last paragraph wasted when it could have been a good closing paragraph about removing the United Neo-Liberal/Neo-Conservative Plutocratic Oligarchic Elites from power. The lies they spread are some of the best half truths ever concocted.
We need less regulation some places and more regulation in others. Raising wages does hurt employment but only when wages are already too high. Raising taxes does kill economic growth but again only if taxes are already at the tipping point.
Neoliberal Elites are the epitome of sociopathic homo economicus. We need regulation to offset the greed, right now regulation feeds the greed as much as it controls it. Many industries benefit from our current regulatory schemes, it stifles new competition.
