[#] 4. [Beliefs] Governance and regulation are necessary evils. The smaller the regulatory footprint the more manageable it is to get your way around it, and the cheaper it is to finance its implementation and administration. Laws and policies must be seen to represent the best interests of the common people and must appear fair and just. However, there must be adequate provisions to support the interests of the crony network. Gaming the system, bending or breaking rules is OK if you can get away with it – this is the natural instinct of self-interest. [Imperatives] 
Minimize the scope and scale of government. Keep taxes as low as possible (small government requires less funding). Ensure that the regulatory framework contains adequate loopholes and escape hatches (known only within the circle of cronies) that can be exploited by cronies when necessary. Hire “fixers” who can resolve complex compliance issues, by working outside the system if needed. Leverage the crony network to ensure that corporate misconduct and administrative malfeasance by its members remains hidden, or even if exposed, goes unpunished.
