Did Government greed move jobs overseas to increase profit margin? Does Government greed put unsafe vehicles on the road to save a buck (GM, Toyota, Ford). Did Government greed put 8 year olds into Coal Mines to work in the past.

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

You seem to have many items on your list of terribles that capitalism has produced. OK.

Think about it and list the ten WORST THINGS you can think of that private entities have done in this world. The WORST. Go for it.

When you're done. I'll move whatever is #1 on your list down to no better than #11 after I list the 10 worst things governments have done.

Capitalism is a human endeavor. Pointing out that some humans are bad is not exactly challenging and it isn't even the question at hand!

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.
