...basic principle of the Alianza is that government aid and free enterprise should work together as neatly as a pair of greased pistons. In practice, it is becoming increasingly evident that the pistons tend to get stuck.

This can only lead to our own moral imbecility and deterioration...
While the tax bill will lessen such rewards in the future, it will also tend to mute the critics. Because the new law tightens up on options but reduces taxes on salaries, straight salary will also gain in importance as an executive reward.
