Here's a test for you lovers of government and haters of the private sector.


See here is a problem, I do not hate the private sector. I do not hate Capitialism at all. I think that Capitalism is fine and the greatest system in the world. I do though think that unregulated Capitalism is not the great thing that some think it is. Without some laws and regulations there can be problems arise.

Right, but the thing is we haven't had unregulated capitalism. Regulations that required banks to lend money to people who they knew couldn't pay it back is what caused the housing collapse. And now Obama has been giving $85 billion a month for the last five years to wall street.

What we are suffering from is unregulated government.

Well. There are only a few anarchists on this board.

For the rest, it's a weighting issue. The government is like 100 times scarier than the private sector. And, I'm probably understating that.

So. I'm not against its use, but it better be VERY compelling and not just some piss ant gripe about things not being "fair".
