There is a great example in the Los Angeles Times today about how the socialists in California think businesses should be forced to stay in California and be micromanaged by an elected politician - Insurance Commissioner.
I especially like this statement from another elected official that is akin to a schoolyard taunt like "Chicken!" It's like when you finally dump an abusive lover and he or she says, "Do you really think you're going to find something better?"
"Nobody objects to an insurance company making a reasonable profit, but in this case it really puts into question whether we're really in 'good hands' with Allstate," said state Sen. Michael Machado (D-Linden), chairman of the Banking, Finance and Insurance Committee.
[Ed note: When working from a certain machine, I can't indent the quotes without making everything else below it, or often everything else in the post indent. That's why some posts look different from others. Also, I did a much longer treatment of this article, but it was lost when I went to publish. I usually copy the post before I publish to get around that rare problem, but I neglected to do that this last time.]
