I know Vicki is a stickler for specifics so I am comfortable asking the following:
Which bars were destroyed? Which retailers were destroyed? Which private apartment owners were destroyed? What has been regulated out of existence? Whose small business was taxed into bankruptcy? Which "political insiders" got the millions? The last one is especially important!
