5. Well, here is yet another example of an "evil" made possible by government intervention in business.
In every case that has been used by the statists as an indictment of the free-market and as an argument for a government-controlled economy, it was determined that the transgressions were made possible by government intervention in business.

The evils, popularly ascribed to "big corporations" are not the result of an unregulated industry, but of state power over industry. The villain is not the businessman; rather, it is the legislator. Likewise, our economic problems are not caused by free-market Capitalism, but by state coercion and force.
