The capitalists regularly lobby government to destroy their competition and make holes in regulations that would cause major disruptions to their business models. The light truck exemption to CAFE rules is a great example.

And the proper response to this is to lobby government to repeal those regulations, and close those loopholes, not to add yet more regulations aimed at breaking monopolies.

You realize, of course, that the regulations are there for a reason, and that it's probably best to reform them?

I don't want just any fly-by-night operation having the ability to judge my credit worthiness. If you don't tell people that's illegal and that they risk prison for it, they'll at least try it to make a buck. That's the problem, not government regulation. We're a country constantly at war against bad faith. And we're losing.
