Because private enterprise would poison you in a heartbeat in search of profit if the government allowed it. The problem these days is that business has co-opted government to permit its continued crimes.
Thank you. And I do get sick of anyone who uses fear mongering to avoid problem solving. You will never find one post on my history on the internet EVER claiming we should become Stalin's Russia or even Chinas goverment. Nor do I want to end the private sector.
I think the private sector when it is not off the rails does great things, but right now global corporatism is killing us and not even allowing mom and pop shops to do right by their employees and I have worked for bosses if it were not for the bullying of big business would do the right thing.
ANYTHING be it public or private, political or religious can go off the rails and become abusive. It is the abuse I want to stop, not private business.
