How does one referee if there are no rules in the game?
In this little analogy, the government is the referee and makes the rules and chooses which rules to enforce and which ones to ignor.
It is exactly because the government has a win/lose interest in this game that the game is rigged. Everyone knows it. It's true in all government run places. To paraphrase "Animal Farm", It's more true in some places than in others, more true under some administrations than others.
It's too bad that the Big 0 is not a Republican so all of the Democrats who were screaming to high Heaven about the centralization of power under Bush could be loosing their minds now that it is actually happening under the Big 0.
Everything bad that Bush was doing, Obama is doing except multiplied by a factor fo 10.
