I'm the owner of a tiddlywink factory, I have millions of
tiddlywinks that are colored blue. I'm in competition
with another tiddlywink factory who's tiddlywinks are
colored red. The other factory wants to run me out of
business. He sends his lobbyist to congress, where
they make donations to individual campaign funds. The
congress makes a law where all tiddlywinks must be
colored red. The cost of changing the color of my
tiddlywinks and the rising cost of labor is too exorbitant.
So my only option is to close my tiddlywink factory and
lay off all the employees.
After my tiddlywink factory has been closed, my competitor
closes his factory and moves the operation overseas to
take advantage of the cheap labor and the lower cost
for materials. After laying off all of his employees, he then
again sends his lobbyist in to have the trade agreements
changed to his advantage. He makes huge profits and transfers
them overseas to a tax haven to avoid paying higher personal
taxes in this country.
Since millions of employees are without jobs, he is
losing profits that he thinks he should have. Again
he sends his lobbyists in and has a law passed that will
give him tax payers funds that he feels will make up for
the profits he has lost. When he receives these funds
he transfers these funds to his tax havens overseas.
The Financial Interests work this way as well.
