Parties, politicians and PACs that want "less regulation" are, or represent, bullies that want to bully everybody and take everything away from everybody less powerful than them. Throughout time immemorial, this is the story of human nature and human civilization. The disappearing "middle class" of America was made possible by tediously beating back the tentacles of business greed, through organized labor movements and wildly successful socialist policies that created the prosperity bubble of the 1950s that everyone fetishizes so much, without (apparently) questioning how it was made possible, and HOW TO PROTECT IT from the wolves that are ALWAYS at the door.
