"We are not a capitalist system any longer: we are a mixed economy, i.e., a mixture of capitalism and statism, of freedom and controls. A mixed economy is a country in the process of disintegration, a civil war of pressure-groups looting and devouring one another." - Ayn Rand

    And the major problem is that this
    "process of disintegration" happened so slowly over such a long period of time that no one
    alive can directly remember the freedom of laissez-faire capitalism nor the absence of government regulation. Atlas Shrugged has become the prophecy of America's
    demise. Ayn Rand would shrug.
