You know--the same kind of thinking that led to companies getting "too big to fail," the funny money mortgage derivatives market, killer lead toys, Bernie Madoff, etc.

"Government and regulation, bad; more money for the rich, good. Screw Mr. amd Mrs. Six Pack and their kids and their whole damn planet. And don't try to point that out or we'll start babbling about reverse classism, class wars, unfairness to rich people and any other divisive horse manure we can conjure."
