Deregulate Everything!


Deregulate financial services? You get a market crash and the worst recession since the Great Depression.

Deregulate environmental laws? You get an apocalyptic oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico.

Deregulate mine safety? A shitload of coal miners die.

Deregulate food safety requirements? People get poisoned.

Deregulate the internet?

Do you see a fucking pattern here people?

Indeed

If the Federal Government is not providing regulation that protects consumers from the unrestrained impulse towards profit and growth that in inherent to the Corporate device, then why do we actually need a Federal Government?

For Defense? Not if they keep going to war to protect the profits of corporations at the cost of the taxpayer and the lives of civilians and servicemen alike.

Sure there are any number of areas where Federal involvement in services are essential. But is it the best way?

I am slowly but surely swaying towards the Less Government side of the argument. Not in a hard core Libertarian way, just in efficiency, and accountability.

Large Federal Government that continues to expand it's powers is too ripe a plum for Lobbyists of Corporate interests to ignore.

That's why Rs say "small government"

and mean small for you, big for us.

It has always been my understanding

that Republicans spend larger than Democrats and reduce Government revenue for two main reasons.

1) To feed money in the form of interest on US debt to their cronies.

2) as an excuse to cut social programs.

They have been wildly successful.

Government dept

Is another form of rent extracted from the poor.

The Rs indulge in Government debt deliberately and with malice aforethought.

A pattern? No...

...just human nature doing what humans do without laws.

Find out just what any people will quietly submit to and you have found out the exact measure of injustice and wrong which will be imposed upon them,and these will continue till they are resisted with either words or blows,or with both~FDouglas
