Analysis: Big Business versus Big Government

Here is an interesting opinion piece. It has some piquant ideas, actually.

Is choosing between Big Business and Big Government really choosing the lesser of two evils? Or is this actually a false dichotomy (and one that's vastly reductive)?

Bonus: a quote from Ayn Rand.

Very nice article. My experience with big government is that there are not too many big businesses around. We used to have slightly biggish companies which stayed the same size for decades.

After the markets opened up, the ones with ability are 10-20 times the size in a short period of timr. The other's simply disappeared without a trace.

I can't tell you the joy and almost a feeling of reverence I feel when I enter a big, glitzy store full of stuff like gadgets of all kinds. I guess reverence is the right emotion to feel, for are these store not the true temples of Capitalism?

Thanks MM.
