&gt;<i>If you want to refer to the corporate&#x2F;political amalgamation as the problem, great.</i><p>Well, you effectively got halfway there in your description. only it goes beyond &quot;cronyism&quot; to direct influence on lawmaking. This is not something debatable and &quot;subjective&quot; like the old&#x2F;young lady image -- it has been shown time and again in the courts, reporting and historical research.<p>&gt;<i>and seems like an effort to push a particular anti-capitalism ideology.</i><p>And that&#x27;s bad because? Did anybody prove that capitalism, and especially as practiced now, with said corruption, cronyism etc, is the last and final word of politics and civilization?
