The party doesn't matter, government regulation is mostly allowed to exist at the behest of defacto monopolies. It sure as hell isn't the common man making these things happen, nor is it people who represent us in a meaningful way.

It does play into their hands perfectly to blame 'the Republicans' or 'the Democrats', and it does indeed make the problem seem more solvable, easy solution right? Vote out the other guy, problem solved, except when we do that, problem not solved, it just changes the guy who's cashing the checks because the problem is much, much bigger than that (and those that cause the problem are much smarter than that).

I don't know how you can see GOP behavior, in Congress, the courts, and (when they have it) the White House, and overlook the radical anti-regulation, pro-corruption and power policies and actions.

You don't know how, simply because I do not. I just see the manipulation of regulation, which includes, but is certainly not limited to, removing regulation, from all politicians.

From there it's a simple manner of looking up who their donors are, and, it should come at no surprise to anyone, that the money that's behind these people comes from entities that directly benefit from their actions.

You are entitled to your own opinion, of course, but not to your own facts. If you don't know the facts - and if you are interested in regulation, especially those facts - then that's your mistake and will lead to other mistakes.
