Cronies..........................























"Both big government and big business like to stack the deck in their favor.  And though they are sometimes adversaries, they are far too often allies.
     "Bureaucrats favor big business over the upstarts.  Large companies are more predictable - and easier to control.  So government tips the scales in their favor, instead of letting competition sort things out.  And big business is a willing accomplice - because regulation keeps the competition out.  Many times, large corporations don't oppose new regulations;  indeed, they help write them.  The point is, crony capitalism isn't a side effect - it's a direct result of big government."
-
Paul Ryan, as excerpted from here
