The problem with that argument is it happens all the time. just the other way around. The problem is we're in the worst situation. where people who trust the market don't want to create laws that help the working class and people that want government to create more laws to help the working class argue amongst themselves and the rich and powerful slowly slip in more laws that help them.

I would say even that is a straw man. The argument is that I’d rather trust the market than governments with that task given their respective track records.
