...course, we have to hire the best tax lawyers and lobbyists. Government red tape imposes tremendous costs on us, costs which we have to pass on immediately to you to maintain our profit margin. Without our lawyers and lobbyists, we would be unable to make ends meet. We wouldn't be able to take advantage of reduced capital gains taxes and depreciation allowances.
