What worries me is not militarism, (which is necessary to diminish the risk of being over run by middle eastern extremists) but, the increasing desire to establish "controls" on our society. A political party (Green) advocated a government takeover of the 500 largest corporations. They also advocated the elimination of private property ownership. Is this the direction where we are ultimately headed? The controls currently imposed on corporate America is growing. There were already environmental laws, EEOC laws, wage and hour laws, tax laws, and SEC reporting laws. Now we add laws to restrict the behavior of corporate officers. What's next, a government mandated restriction of corporate officers salaries? The controls our government places on our society and our companies is more damaging to the future of our markets than any military intervention overseas. For instance, does anyone really believe that corporations pay taxes? Corporations pass taxation on to the consumer, the ultimate tax payer.
