GOOD FRICKIN' GRIEF

It's the government passing the laws, not the companies. And the big companies want regulation because they can not simply "swallow" the smaller companies.

THE GOVERNMENT IS RESPONSIBLE.

This is a situation where the government has misused its power - power of the sort that can only be misused. But instead of treating the disease you want to treat the symptoms. The government did not start passing these rent-seeking laws because evil corporations bribed them - corporations began pushing for these laws after they saw the government had the power to pass them. Take the government's power to pick economic winners and losers and they'll be no point to corporations trying to buy politicians. You won't need laws against donations or the like.

CR is.
No I'm not.

I'm asking for very strict limits; only laws against fraud, coercion, and harming people basically.

You don't need laws mandating new vehicles - just hold people responsible if someone is injured in a vehicle.

[Re: law against limos parking in front of hotels]Would be logical in some situations in which parking is at a premium.
No, it's not. If it costs money to park, let them pay it. If there's a time limit, hold them to it.

But singling out people or companies for stricter treatment is the basis of this problem.
