You know why they can get away with it?

Because most people don't own, or will ever own a business. So it's easy to convince them that the ones who do should be regulated to death.

If the average person knew what it does to businesses, and how that in turn will efect the economy, and themselves....maybe there would be outrage.

But right now, hating the successful is "hip".

Especially with the younger generation. It's ok to hate on the successful, and they feel they are entitled a cut of the pie, the pie they didn't help bake.
