and real estate brokers.
-Over sized banking sector which taxes the rest of the economy via high credit card rates, debit fees,
etc
-Gov't system of health care that forces people to belong to unions or large corporations to gain
access to health care, instead of creating a level playing field where everyone shops on equal
footing for the best rate
