Government and business “leaders” rush to follow the latest, stupidest ideas without thinking about what they are doing.

The love of money is the root of ALL KINDS of evil.

No, this is social engineering, dialectical marxism with no regard for morality or profit. It's all about shifting the definition of "normal," or as Bob Bennett put it, "defining deviancy downward."
