Jacoby argues government unions shouldn’t have the right to collectively bargain because they can use their money and votes to unduly sway their employers. Fair enough, but why is it OK to permit corporations spending large amounts of money to unduly sway the legislators who are charged with regulating their businesses?

What is it with you people who think that conservatives want zero regulations? Why the all or nothing worldview?
