This county has been VERY successful with that regulation. Other countries with little or no regulation are poverty stricken hell holes. Coincidence? I don't think so.
Perhaps you need to study a little history. The United States was founded with "little or no regulation", and instead of becoming a "poverty stricken hell hole", grew into the most powerful and successful economy the world has ever known.
If all of the current confiscatory taxes and stifling regulations had been in place in 1776, then this country would be a poverty stricken hell hole.
The free market is always more productive and efficient than any command economy. The 20th century was rife with glaring examples of this fact.
What you government kissing liberals fail to grasp is that the economic freedom that was essential to this country becoming what it is, is also essential to its being able to grow and thrive in the future. When you strangle the golden goose, it will no longer lay golden eggs, a fact that seems to escape too many moronic politicians.
We're now coasting on past glory, and the rot permeating Washington DC (from both major parties) seems to ensure that the decline of our once great country will continue unabated.
It's quite instructive to see that the former Soviet satellite countries are now the most fervent champions of free enterprise. They've lived, first hand, in your wonderful world of massive government control, and know, to a far greater extent than pampered western liberals, what freedom really means.. |
