Corporations run the country, they are massive conglomerates that have immense power due to lobbying efforts and other shady practices.


Well its the government that got the companies and corporations that large. Many of the CEOs of these companies have connections or are in congress, and the senate and even in the presidency. The president works for business, not for the people.

If the government pulled out, the companies would have to start actually COMPETING again. That drives prices down making them more fair and balanced. Because it will be profitable for them to do that. Companies don't depend heavily on the consumer anymore.

Return their dependency and do no regulation on them at all then big companies would collapse, new companies could start up with the low taxes and low regulation. (the red tape and cost to start a business is INSANE. Small business is being choked to death by the government. Believe me i know, its almost impossible for our coffee house to make it.. We can't hire outside people because it would cost $15,000 a year in taxes alone! Not including wages!!)

So deregulate the system, and let the companies run for the people again. And if a company gets huge, they got that way by having a better product and providing better service. They can't buy out other corporations because no ones giving them a low interest loan for 22 billion dollars. So more power to em, they got their by having good business practices.

The more the government regulates, the more corrupt and warped the system becomes.

If they took their hands out the system would correct itself and balance out. Creating a much more stable and fair economy. Which in turn created a more stable health care and education system. And once you give people the opportunity, you'll be surprised at what we can accomplish.

Laissez Faire?

For the most part, I agree. However, a few things do need to be regulated. Certainly less than they regulate now, though.

The problem is that we're mostly a capitolist society with heavily socialist policies. Just like the difference in taxes. A percentage already means that people with more money pay more. So raising their percantage is anything but fair. Plus it strangles out small businesses, which makes me angry.
