As Bastiat says in The Law:
The law perverted! And the police powers of the state perverted along with it! The law, I say, not only turned from its proper purpose but made to follow an entirely contrary purpose!

2) top company or politicians lobby for more regulation that only top companies can afford, effectively killing competition
3) permanent monopoly.
