Bureaucracy of the kind Mahoney describes used to be a mere hindrance to enterprise and innovation - regulations and rules had to be dealt with in order to get a small business off the ground. But what has changed under this administration is that government control is more purposeful; as we pass new laws, spend outrageous amounts of money and grow government at an epic pace under this Legislator in Chief, we further and deliberately squelch any chance of our economy’s recovery under the capitalist model.
...”we’ve built a bureaucracy at federal, state, county, and municipal levels that would be the envy of any Soviet apparatchik. Our apparatchiks receive salaries 45% higher than those earned by the private-sector serfs who pay them”...

Most, I am sure, stay quiet because of the high salary, perks and benefits. This system needs to been cleaned out and restored from the ground up, beginning with the IRS.
