In 21st century America, unless you are a very small "capitalist" or very small "entrepreneur" you are a crony capitalist. Depending on the size of your business, you will play the crony part at the local (county and city, two for one), state or federal level. If you are particularly fortunate, you will play the crony at all three levels.
That is how business functions in these sad days of monstrously enormous-beyond-all-imagination government. Bill Clinton never told a bigger whopper than that one...it had only just begun.
