,i>When Maytag blew a hard won reputation for quality they were gone in short order. The kind of people who qualify for teacher's colleges largely captured the education business with political influence. Their incentives are not to emulate and improve on successes. Unlike Maytag, they blunder on. You are talking about two different things... the survival of a company and someone keeping their job. I've always worked in the private sector and seen many, many people get and keep their jobs because of "political influence". Hell I've gotten a few jobs myself because of who I know not what i knew. We've increasingly ignored good advice: A wise and frugal Government, which shall restrain men from injuring one another, shall leave them otherwise free to regulate their own pursuits of industry and improvement, and shall not take from the mouth of labor the bread it has earned. This is the sum of good government. Well their agrarian economy was a bit more simple than ours. What regulation are you specifically against?
