Many say that business is an evil game and is for evil people. They say you have to be dishonest if you are a CEO. They say that most entrepreneurs are rich because they cheat and screw over the little guy. Some even go so far as to say that the difference between a CEO or Entrepreneur and a criminal is merely luck and family name?

I totally disagree; not that there are not some crooked businessmen or women, but that the root of the problem has nothing to do with money or the game of business. If you have a completely free market where customers vote with their dollar you will find all business people compete and have to better their products in order to compete and those who cheat are found out quickly and the patronage comes to a halt. The reason that one could say that the game of business is evil, is because it has been prostituted by the government regulators, enforcement officers and politicians.

Government's number one job is to protect her peoples, not to attack a company's competitors, yet most of the higher-end business schools teach their students the truth. Governments only contribution to the game of business has been to un-level the playing field by using law to slow one company over another. The regulatory bodies in our country attack businesses and extort fees. Those in business know that if they are not good enough or are having a tough time competing in a particular market that they can always use the government to attack their competitors. As a matter of fact there are so many laws and rules, which so often contradict each other, it is literally impossible to follow all the rules.

Your only bet is to pay other extortionists; Lawyers to protect you from such attacks. Yet as we see the regulatory bodies often and law firms have a revolving door. If you want to play you have to pay. This is similar to the mob. And that folks is the real evil in "the game of business" and it does not come from the private sector. The evil starts with an easily manipulated, brain dead, BS ridden, blob of bureaucracy. Yes you may quote me on that. But do think on it.
