Growing government makes it worse, not better. Regulations make it worse, not better.


That is not necessarily true. We are one of the wealthiest countries overall yet we are the only first world country without a public health care option and we have a lower life expectancy than most of those countries. Simply saying that growing government is worse is way too vague in General for the statement to have any value

There are plenty of regulations that have helped the working class and the American people. Simply acting like all barriers for entrepreneurs, which are some of the most useless people in society, is also too vague and General to have any meaning. I'm sure DuPont would still be dumping dangerous chemicals in West Virginia had it not been for some sort of regulations. If profit is the only motive then there will be plenty Bad actors

We are, but that doesnt have anything to do with the fact that regulations are part of what makes goods and services unaffordable for the poor and restrict business opportunities for those less well capitalized or grandfathered in.

As we become more wealthy and you add barriers, the window shifts upward and becomes a floor, which becomes unattainable for those at the bottom.

Which creates opportunities in the markets for people who identify bad actors.

Without profit motives, we're probably still tilling ground and living hand to mouth.
