Big Government and Big Business get along great. That’s why they make such great allies when it comes to ramming moonbattery down the public’s throat. Covid tyranny helped cement their symbiotic relationship, as Amazon’s profits attest. Big Government and small business are not on such good terms. John Stossel reports on how hard do-gooder bureaucrats make life for small businesses in New York City, where leftism has led to unrestricted government growth:

It is a small consolation that when moonbat overlords inflict punitive taxes on the little people, it is supposedly for their own good. The wise words of C. S. Lewis come to mind:

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron’s cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience. They may be more likely to go to Heaven yet at the same time likelier to make a Hell of earth. This very kindness stings with intolerable insult. To be “cured” against one’s will and cured of states which we may not regard as disease is to be put on a level of those who have not yet reached the age of reason or those who never will; to be classed with infants, imbeciles, and domestic animals.
