On the Fact that (According to Countless Historians; Robert Higgs, James Abrahamson, Calvin Hoover, Michael Linfield, etc.) Starting In the 1930s, Many American Businessmen Began Looking at Government Regulation Not as an Imposition or Hindrance but as an Opportunity to Game the System, Lobby for Advantages, etc.

Yeah, this is the one thing that I'd most like to deposit into the heads of progressives; namely, that it is THEIR policies and THEIR interventions that end up harming the little guy and helping the big guy (the fact that big corporations are better able to lobby and influence legislation, cost-effectively deal with compliance, etc.). If only they'd listen.
