By "doing nothing" or wanting to "do only what is necessary" the left equates that with looking out for corporations or the rich. I haven't made a personal determination whether it is just base jealousy of others or if it is something else. Even when it's a good idea, the laws and regulations MUST logically follow in the mind of the left. If you're against the regulations or laws, then you are AGAINST the policy.
Everytime I read this, I have to chuckle. The left absolutely LOVES mandates, laws, regulations and imperial proclamations. I have said this many, many times and almost every thread in this forum proves it's validity. In the mind of the left, you CANNOT be for something and NOT support the laws, mandates, laws and imperial proclamations that go along with it. The two ARE NOT seperable. If you are against mandates and laws then you CANNOT support the policy.
For example, take hate crimes. If you are against hate crimes, then you MUST support a bevy of laws that define, identify and provide specific punishment for the hate crime. If a man is killed and it is racially motivated, NEVER MIND the fact that the person might suffer the death penalty simply for the act of killing itself. No, you have to support the application of the hate crime statutes which add NOTHING to the prosecution. If you do not support hate crime legislation then naturally it follows in the mind of the left, that you MUST be for hate crimes. Therefore, you are a closet member of the KKK.
Wall street must be regulated, but to what degree? The left has already shown that there are businesses "too big to fail" and is guilty of not letting the free enterprise system work as it should. But by disliking a mountain of laws, regulations and imperial proclamations, conservatives are immediately "out for the rich."
The basis of this OP is typical... I'm waiting for the next one.
