Washington Booms during Slowest Recovery | Cato @ Liberty

I have been saying some of this for ages....

Walk down K Street, the heart of Washington’s lobbying industry, and look at the directory in any office building. They’re full of lobbyists and associations that are in Washington, for one reason: because, as Willie Sutton said about why he robbed banks, “That’s where the money is.”

The wonder is why the taxpayers put up with it.

But also i think that it inevitably ends on horrific violence. Socialism and the seizure of property and prosperity by an aristocratic and ultimately unaccountable central authority has rarely ended well.
