? for the Zombies, er, zombies ?feeding off taxpayers, investors, and workers.? So says the latest Business Week, in its description of ?has-been? companies that are about to ?menace the U.S. economy.?

It?s curious that the magazine highlights a valid problem, yet fails to mention that these zombies are a direct result of government interference in the market process.

No targeted tax breaks? No regulations benefiting the large corporations that can afford to hire lobbyists to write them? No unnecessary barriers to entry into the marketplace? No government to bail companies out of unprofitable ventures? No zombies.
