1. It's hard to tell, but they actually exist in an alternate reality |
|
where regulations come from absolutely nowhere, as fast as the government can repeal them. Taxes continually go up on their own, so you have to endless cut them just to stay where you are.

I didn't know there was anything left to deregulate.
Seriously, why deregulate? Why not just do what they've been doing? That is, to keep the regulatory apparatus intact (in some instances) and appoint former (and future) industry types to the top positions. Whammo! Instant deregulation without all that messy legislation.
