Earlier in this blog I wrote about the American Political Spectrum and its peculiarities with regards to the rest of the world.

It's time we realize that it isn't right vs left, but everybody vs the elite. Free business and low regulation results in something completely different than special favors for the biggest corporations and bankers. Indeed, it is the assumption of the power to regulate that allows the people with money to attain these favors. Without these powers, there would be no favors to lobby for.
