The Insanity of deregulation.

Anyone here able to make sense of this one.

what do you not understand about people who do not have the money to start their own business being prevented from entering the business marketplace because you fucktards require hundreds of dollars in licenses before they can start their own business?

No ,the keeping low income people poor part. If you don't have the capital to start a business that includes regulations and licenses, then I'm sure not interested in using your unchecked service. Why would anyone.
 
Ya no regulations and no license and only good honest people will claim to be electricians and we would just take everyone's word for it. Like assuming that big b will look out for us . that they would do whats right by us and they all can be trusted. NOT!

thank you for clearly proving my point while being completely ignorant about reality. is that liberal MO?
 
Hello cawacko,

That's not true. Not true in the least. But we proclaim the worst intentions to our "opponents"

OK, point taken. Make that:

"Some conservatives don't care what the regulation says.

They just want fewer of them. None, would be good for some, the way they talk.

Basically, they only want a government when they NEED one. Otherwise it should hide and not speak."

This does describe some people, and they sure aren't liberal.
 
Hello jbander,

It's always a stupid idea to let business do what they want and expect them to be good guys and honor their fellow man. IT won't happen.

Often the case. But not always. There are good and bad out there. Usually, some regulation is required to ensure a level playing field for business, and protect workers and consumers.

That's a very small number of people and they are generally libertarians. But don't forget, anarchists are also on the left end of the political spectrum
 
Hello cawacko,

You make a great point. No law or regulation the government has put in place during our 225 year history has ever become not needed or outdated. Never. We ought to have a constitutional amendment that once something is signed into law it can never be rescinded.

-deleted criticism of that idea-

The whole post was sarcasm. It's essentially what the guy is arguing with his no deregulation stance

Wrong. The OP is correct.

All good. I probably should have been more clear about it

I'll say.

Some good some bad so lets drop regulations and maybe??????
 
Hello cawacko,

Not true. Many companies/industries like regulation because it can restrict competition.

No doubt that happens. Big corporations do seek to create legislation only they can comply with easily for the purpose of pulling the ladder up behind them. But that's not the only kind of regulation. Environmental, safety and financial wrongdoing regulations are often the first ones cut when deregulating, but the type which prevent small business from gaining a foothold are rarely cut.
 
Hello SmarterthanYou,

then the ONLY thing you've accomplished [with regulations] is to ensure that the lower income people of this country REMAIN lower income people. congrats to you.

That's not true. Regulations come in a lot of flavors. It is overly simplistic to make generalizations about them. But generalizations are what we most often get from deregulation advocates.
 
Hello cawacko,

Are there actual political circles where folks sit around and say no regulation ever created in this country should be reduced or repealed?

I don't know about other places and times but you did earlier in this thread. At least two of us did not see your sarcasm. Might help to add something like '/sarc' at the end of the post.

Unless we're talking past each other you just said the OP was correct so it seems you two believe it.

I do agree with the OP.

As for deregulation, here's what Republicans like to do:

Cut safety and environmental regulations, keep the ones that help mega-corporations strongarm small business.
