Mice lobby against the better mousetrap
Standing up against a government which will crush the dreams of everyday Americans just to assert its power was the inspiration for my coming to Washington, D.C. many years ago.
The idea that an inventor could build a better mousetrap and the mice could hire a lobbying firm to get Congress or a regulator to ban it was abhorrent to this young man fresh on the heels of reading Atlas Shrugged. Yet, that has unfortunately become the norm in an America which is barely recognizable.
