It has been observed that the interests of big business and unions are often the same. Both want to make the cost of entry into the market high to reduce competition. Both prefer the margins allowed by oligopolistic or monopolistic competition. Both view excessive regulation as simply the cost of limiting competition. Big business contributors are now working to undermine libertarians and conservatives in Congress. The GOP needs to recognise that the new alliance is welfare recipients against producers. Both individual and corporate welfare recipients are against the middle class and those who wish to be upwardly mobile. Obviously when Republicans regain a semblance of power they need to remain the party who permits others to join in the restoration of America.
