>Anyone who thinks more goverment with more rules and regulations is a winning plan has a fucking hole in their head and has been conned by the statists.

You just described 98% of the left wingers on this site. We need sunset laws, repeal of many present laws, and pruning back govt severely.

“A democracy cannot exist as a permanent form of government. It can only exist until the voters discover that they can vote themselves largesse from the public treasury. From that moment on, the majority always votes for the candidates promising the most benefits from the public treasury with the result that a democracy always collapses over loose fiscal policy, always followed by a dictatorship.” (attributed to Alexis de Tocqueville political philosopher Circa 1835)

IT isn't capitalism when a big centralized government makes rles and regulations that allow them to control what companies live and what companies die, when tools in suits who know NOTHING about various industries try to control them, nd when those same tools in government attack certain companies or enterprises in the name of 'fairness'

The problem is, the governemnt is too big ad has too much control. That is why the US oriinally had states rights--in the states is where the democracy is Anyone who thinks more goverment with more rules and regulations is a winning plan has a fucking hole in their head and has been conned by the statists.

Enjoy your journey on the cattle cars to the camps.

There would be absolutely no need for rules and regulations if corporations could self govern themselves in a way that was ethical and in the best interest of the public good. But unfortunately, that just doesn't often happen. For example, Corporations have proven they will pollute (water, air, soil) to the maximum level allowable, regardless of the impact on the local population.

It is the extreme short term drive for profits and the risk taking that generates that causes all kinds of fucked up behavior in corporations ... Look at all of the illegal activity that JP Morgan and other banks have been nailed for in the last 10 years. How about all the cover ups at General Motors? The BP oil spill? It goes on and on and on.

If corporations govern themselves ethically and with a real eye toward doing the right thing, then regulations will drop dramatically. But they don't as their form of predatory capitalism gets worse and as such, the energy to regulate them gets more intense. For the most part, they are causing their own problems with poor corporate governance.

--------------------
"The universe is endless, limitless and infinite. Any effort to define it's boundaries is an attempt to overcome ignorance. We are physical, mental and spiritual beings ... there is no beginning and there is no end. There is only memory. Our repeated loss of memory experiences create the illusion of beginnings and ends. Immortality is the ability to retain full memory through all consciousness transformations. Loss of memory is man's greatest curse and, in very real terms, death."

-- Ancient Taoist Master
