Economics 101: Best Protection Against Loss

[CrusaderFrank]

Some obscure politician named Hillary something or other recently decried the need for more regulation to punish Wall Street “abuses” and lack of accountability, she said that in the extremely unlikely event she gets her party nomination and becomes President, she would push to mitigate “dangerous financial risks” that can “lurk outside of regulated banks." Blah, blah, blah, stop me if you've heard this one.

Here's a reality check on the best way to protect against losses. Is it:

A. More and more and more and more regulations with a de facto guarantee to bail out an organization, thereby privatizing the gains and sticking the taxpayer with the losses, or

B. You put up your money, you take your chances. The stockholder risk their capital, reap the gain and eat the losses.

Which is better?

Democrat policy demands equal result even when risk and effort are not. That is socialist in a nut shell.

all regulations are soviet regulations based on the conceit that bureaucrats know better than the wisdom of individuals acting freely.

Many Regulations that require taxes to maintain infrastructure are established by engineers.
Since Conservatives maintain that all taxation is Socialism and a disaster waiting to happen, Civil Engineers are worse than worthless; they're DANGEROUS!
You can't have it both ways.

Even Jefferson wanted govt and thus taxation too. The conservative idea is that taxes be very limited. Socialism is when govt owns major industries so not really directly related to taxes. Do you understand?
