Crony capitalism is a problem too, and BHO has Done more of it than any President in history. Quite a gig taking campaign contributions from companies and then awarding them Millions in loans and grants with money from the U.S. treasury, much of it squandered away by company failures, Solendra comes to mind, several hundred million lost.
But don't blame it on the companies, blame on the seedy,corrupt politicians we elect and re-elect. But for them, it wouldn't be a problem.

Bad analogy. Crony capitalists might be the johns but the US taxpayers are the sex slaves and the politicos are the pimps/traffickers. The taxpayers are getting screwed while the pimps and johns are getting all of the benefit. And in this system the pimps are not independent...they work for the johns.
Beware the man who would rule you for your own good. He will never cease. He will regulate every aspect of your life, destroy your liberty and enslave you, and sleep well convinced that he has made the world a better place.

Kind of a stretch? Sure. Rational: I think that people getting stuff for free for a prolonged period of time erodes their desire/ability to strive to do more (sounds awful GOP of me). People making more money off of giving it away than they can make off of actual work erodes their desire/ability to get out of that spiral. It starts out as a short term thing and before it's over, they're doing things just to get their next fix that they had to get to make them be able to do their short term thing.
