What will happen if we do what Repubs want and Deregulate Business'

[ClosedCaption]

Besides worker abuse and tearing up the environment around these business'? Something has to be good and pretty dam honorable to be left alone and trusted to do the right thing, but business is not about doing the right thing, its about doing the profitable thing.

Not saying all regulations are a good thing, but hell, are we supposed to drop regulations and hope / pray that corporations will treat our land and workers the way society wants them too.

Now Thats a faith based ideology if there ever was one.

What will happen if we do what Repubs want and Deregulate Business

We would be headed for a disaster of biblical proportions. Old Testament– real wrath-of-God type stuff! Fire and brimstone coming down from the sky! Rivers and seas boiling! Forty years of darkness! Earthquakes, volcanoes...The dead rising from the grave!Human sacrifice! Dogs and cats living together! Mass hysteria!

Deregulating businesses means you have to trust them to do the right thing. It's like leaving your house and car unlocked, out of trust.

Right....Like the ethics of the regulators have been any great shakes.

Actually you don't have to trust them, you just have to allow consumers to chose who to do business with. And that's why your government solution is failure out of the gate. They start by removing choice and then you really do have to trust them, and the only thing you can trust politicians to do is screw you. And screw you they do.

Why do you assume you have the right to regulate business in the first place?

Because in society there are rules.

That's what my mother used to tell me. 'Don't run with the scissors' and such. But she got old and eventually gave up trying to nanny me.

Are you my new mother?

Sure, monopolies are going to give you a choice.

Advocates of capitalism are very apt to appeal to the sacred principles of liberty, which are embodied in one maxim: The fortunate must not be restrained in the exercise of tyranny over the unfortunate.

Kaz, heres a question. If a company has the most kick ass product ever but to make this product they are destroying the land and environment in, lets just say, West Virginia. Do you think the American people will stop buying the product because a few thousand West Virginians are getting sick?

You put waaaay too much trust in the public, if that is the case. And that scenario can be replayed over and over until it's on your doorstep or shit gets soooo fucked up in sooo many different areas that the american people will come together *snicker* to fight for *snicker* a common cause *LOL*

Besides worker abuse and tearing up the environment around these business'? Something has to be good and pretty dam honorable to be left alone and trusted to do the right thing, but business is not about doing the right thing, its about doing the profitable thing.

Not saying all regulations are a good thing, but hell, are we supposed to drop regulations and hope / pray that corporations will treat our land and workers the way society wants them too.

Now Thats a faith based ideology if there ever was one.

Worker abuse can be defined how...?

Of course we are, just like the financial part of our country that we got rid of so much regulation on, did.

Greed is a very powerful thing isn't it? Can anyone really imagine what our environment would be like if there were no LAWS to protect us? Or what employment would be like without OSHA?

There is nothing in the GOP platform or being stated by any prominent Republican at any level that I know of that wants to deregulate business. Most Republicans are Constitutional purists that understand some laws, rules, and regulation are necessary to secure our rights.

What many if not most Republican DO want is to eliminate as much unnecessary regulation as possible to put American business back on more even footing in a global market. American business is the second highest taxed in among all developed nations and probably the most regulated in the world.

We can do it better than it is currently being done.

Wouldn't you really like to be able to see who it is that writes such garbage and exactly what their jobs are? I'm betting most of them are paid to be on these boards!

Can WE imagine what this Republic would be like if Government didn't intrude with the free market? Could we imagine what it would be like if Liberty of the individual was practiced without the whiners that can't GRASP the concept for their poor choices?
