The problem with such analogies is that they get turned around so easily. The notion that the only cure for the poison miscalled medicine, is still more of it, is the very essence and principle of the Federal Socialist American Worker's Party aka the Democratic Party as it has existed since FDR. Taxation and regulation are driving businesses out of business? Well, regulate them! And raise taxes to pay for it! We know what's best for you! We determine what's “fair,” and we'll tell you how to run your business to ensure “fairness”! And you'll pay us to do so!
So everything you buy is Made in China, and still the Federal Socialists point to the top-hat robber-baron capitalists (who built the prosperity they now subsist upon) as the Great Evil, and all the greying ponytails wax rhapsodic over how “fair” is Communist Cuba.
