This doesn't make any sense Cannon. In all seriousness, you're blaming a public institution for controlling the ability of the economy to produce something. That isn't Capitalism. I agree with what you're saying, but I don't agree with you definition.
I'll tell you this though, a friend of my Dad's owns a number of car-washes around Houston. He hired a book-keeper to take care of his finances several years back, and at one point a couple years ago that book-keeper made a mistake that had tax implications. The guy wound up having to pay penalties. Here's the thing though, if the guy had hired a CPA then my Dad's friend wouldn't have been on the hook for the mistake and the CPA would have, and that's exactly what he uses.
Is it not insane that government gives a subgroup of what are essentially accountants this special power so that they can charge more???
I don't have an issue with licensed contractors being paid more to shoulder more liability - it makes perfect sense, IF we agree to the IRS in the first place - which we don't.
But yes, it IS CAPITALISM, not free enterprise.
Please reassure me, forthwith, that you have the intellect to distinguish between an economy which relies for its funding on a veritable priesthood class which has access to billions in anonymous cash, and an economy funded by risk takers who steward their OWN resources. Please reassure me that you know the difference between a game with a bar against entrance for the common man, and a game where all are welcome to play, provided they bring their own helmet?
