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

[Toro]

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.

Strawman.

The Republicans are not talking about de-regulating everything. They are talking about de-regulating some things. And we should take a look at de-regulating some things but a lot of regulation is bad.

What a dumb ass thread...

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.

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.

Then we don't need ingredient labels on foods, and inspections, because if enough people die from a bad product,

people won't patronize that business?

lol

Worker abuse can be defined how...?

It's kind of like Porn, It's hard to describe but you know it when you see it

Thanks for nothing for the NON-Answer. Try again.

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.

Translation: The rich sure the hell have a lot more oppertunity comming to them if we just take control and make things less complicated for them.

The rest of the people are just going to have to live with this fact.

no kidding, it seems some ALWAYS needs a Nanny.

 

[NYcarbineer]

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

Because in society there are rules.

OMG, an to you the rule makers and masters are the GUBERMENT?

No, the government.

Or would you prefer, for example, there were no law against Rape? No 'rule' against it, no 'masters' to enforce the 'rule'??

Are you really that stupid? Government regulation didn't cause a need, it came from a need. That need was to keep people safe from corp's and those who ran them HAD TO BE MADE TO DO THE RIGHT THINGS.

 

[mike beev]

This is kind of a no brainer. What would happen if a city disbanded its police force because it was weak and corrupt? Those who feel justified in committing crimes would run wild.

No its society, I'm not mad because there are rules to be followed. For instance, if some old lady wants to have a million cats thats her business, but if it is unhealthy and is fucking up the quality of life of others that is a problem to society.

Now if the old bag wants to live somewhere secluded from others and die of cat dander or whatever. Thats her business, go die and be happy

I guarantee that if your grocery store had 2 sections, one for mandatory labeled food and one for anything goes unlabeled food,

you wouldn't shop in the latter section.

na, why don't you just go shoot the cats and the old lady too.

I see. So you would subvert your own power to discern to those that don't follow it, and could really care a damn of YOU if their own power lust didn't get in the way of common sense?

Then a remidial reading course for you is mandatory since *I* was addressing what *YOU* wrote.

Sure, monopolies are going to give you a choice.

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!

of course, we all know that corporations are very ethical and moral in their treatment of the environment, people and animals

corporations have never forced people to work 16-18 hours a day for peanuts

and live in shacks

and eat mud

and work in unhealthy conditions

and they never downsized american workers so they could hire cheap labor overseas

and they love to pay their fair share of taxes so they never hire lobbyists to get politicians to give them free rides

they've never dumped toxic waste and pollutants into our water supply or our air or into our childrens playgrounds

so we don't need to regulate big business because we know we can trust them to do the right thing

(not)
