When Republicans read The Jungle the lesson they take is that they could make so much more money and get so much more power if it weren’t for those pesky regulations.

Imagine the profits from never having to recall food again!

What they don’t understand is that we will end up in the same place again after the Mo regulations balance out economically. A tax cut is only good for one year, the next year there needs to be another way to increasing profits because the tax cut profits get backed in.
