Politicians say they pass laws to "Protect Americans from big business."
Most people don't realize that those laws often help big business while hurting consumers.
"Big business and big government are not enemies like a lot of people think they are," says American Enterprise Institute fellow Tim Carney in my new video.
"When government gets bigger, whether it's through spending or taxes or regulation, the big guys, big business benefits."
Big companies like Walmart, Costco and Amazon lobby in favor of it.
"If Jeff Bezos wants people to be paid more," Carney responds, "He can pay people more! But what Bezos is trying to do is outlaw competing business practices."
When big government colludes with big business to kill competition, we all pay the price.
