The private sector is not a benign force as libertarians make it out to be...
Back on point: I support welfare for those who need it. A proper system should be put into place for it to work though.
::" Government WASTES RESOURCES, they're the most inefficient spenders you will EVER find. The private sector isn't supposed to be something to help us all out, it's not a fantasy story,it's just the ideathat when people are in charge of their own lives there is more capital available for a society to progress, when people can make their own contracts without the myriad of regulations bogging them down services can be provided cheaper, when the government doesn't direct assets (like giving subsidies for houses) and bail out business (which should have failed for being reckless), guarantee investments (which are supposed to be by their very definition a risk) there is less chance of a financial meltdown.
Rather than letting them get their grubby little paws on everything we should have harsher prison sentences to deter people/organisations from using force, fraud, coercion or neglecting their responsibilities. "::
BOLD: So does the private sector........... besides government can be reformed. Greed can not be reformed though.
UNDERLINED: Stop dreaming.... if it wasn't for regulation big business would really fuck you over!
"....we should have harsher prison sentences to deter people/organisations from using force, fraud, coercion or neglecting their responsibilities." -I completely agree with you there.
May I ask a question? Do you support lasez-faire (forgive my French spelling) capitalism?
