Yes, it does...

Why should we limit ourselves to what's already here?

More businesses to BR means more jobs, more competition, and in the end, the lower performing firms will go out of business while the better ones thrive.

This is the cornerstone to capitalism and what has made it successful since the beginning of history. This shouldn't be news to you...


No it’s not.

Govt. subsidies do not create more competition where the best man wins.

The fact is it can allow an underperforming business to compete against a higher performing business because government is paying part of the cost for them to do business.

The cornerstone of capitalism is a free market, and not government picking winners and losers.

BTW, I'm confused as to why you say this. The system you refer to is quite honesty deeply embedded on both sides of the aisle, and not just in Louisiana.


I say this because meddling in the markets, wealth redistribution for the greater good, and picking winners/losers isn't really antithetical to liberal ideology.

It is, however, cognative dissonance when libertarian-ish tea partiers do it.

You're right though - both sides do it.
