I'm not proposing gov't dictated economics, or proposing that gov't is efficient. But capitalism is a flame that will consume everything that sustains it, if allowed. Gov't should temper it, and prevents it from getting out of control.
Capitalism is the only system where one can rise to the top financially. No other system allows this to happen.
Well right now government chokes it out. Tempering it should consistent of as little government control as possible. We all know some regulation is necessary. But it should be at little as feasibly possible in order to maximize efficiency.
Right now we have the government choking out small business at the behest of big business. Getting big business out of government is necessary if we want to go back to having a capitalist market.
Actually many Americans love doing this. This is what a lot of people on disability do. If they actually report earnings they lose their disability check every month. So instead they work under the table so that they can earn a wage and still receive the disability check. Others like it because they can do things like not pay taxes or prevent child support from being deducted from their check.
Sure, or just get government out of having their hands in private industry. You blame the big business, I blame the big government.
This is not true, they teach this from Elementary through High School.
They weren't doing it when I was teaching. OTOH, that was 6 years ago and I didn't work for any wealthy school districts.
Big business is controlling of big government they are not mutually exclusive.
That's like deciding which dog to blame when a couple of them are fucking on your lawn. Doesn't matter whose fault it is, just get out the garden hose.
I don't work in wealthy school district either but there are at least 10 Chromebooks in every class and I teach JH.
You're also not in Texas, we have like the 49th best education system in the country.
The difference is you shouldn't want to get rid of the big businesses. On their own they are an important piece to a healthy economy. A massive government isn't.
I don't want to get rid of them, I want to stop bailing them out when they try to get rid of themselves, and I want their campaign funding and lobbying practices (particularly buying politicians gifts) shut down.
Yeah I am in Texas.
I thought you were in the Northeast, my bad I guess.Yeah I am in Texas.
Agreed. This flies in the face of capitalism.
Good luck stopping them if you can't stop them from bribing politicians.
What's the last bailout you remember and how much is actually unpaid from all the bailouts. It may surprise you.
