Big business. Big labor. Big government. These are not entities in opposition but in balance, much like the three branches of the federal government. Each jealously guards its power from the other. They do not argue about acquiring power, but about how that power is divided or shared. Regardless of what any idealist on the Left may think, this is the inevitable ruling troika that socialism requires to govern and function in the future. Whether you choose to label this relationship as fascist, communist or socialist is irrelevant because above all it is totalitarian. Whether you choose to label its advocates Democrat or Republican is also irrelevant because above all they are elitists.

Big business makes a lot of noise about government regulation, but also lobbies for it because there are benefits in addition to immense contracts. Government regulation raises the barrier to new, competing ventures and puts many smaller to medium sized businesses at a distinct disadvantage. Most major American corporations have extensive internal bureaucracies of lawyers, accountants and technical specialists to deal with regulatory concerns. These people’s jobs depend on government regulation. It is not uncommon to find these corporate bureaucrats listed as advisors to panels and committees that promulgate regulatory rules and statutes.
