Re: The Blood Letting for Consumers continues Free Enterprise is when businesses and individuals interact with themselves without ANY government involvement. The government only protects the companies and consumers with fundamental laws of property, privacy and contract.
The fact there is the CRTC proves that this is NOT a FREE Enterprise system which you blame. The problem is two part. One that we believe the people in government should control us and know what is better for the millions of people, the companies and their interactions. Secondly the government, preaching morals and fairness, actually does the opposite because it doesn't have a value system. We the customers vote with our dollars, they the government order business and consumers for possible kickbacks and bribes but are directly affected by any of these changes.
This is a moral and philosophical issue, and the people who believe in regulation or believe that we live in a free market are hypocrites, because they are free to put in regulations but do not allow others to do the same and choose for themselves.
It's that simple. |

| Without government interference the baby bells reconstituted themselves into AT&T. Without government regulation all industries would be consolidated, and we'd end up living in a world controlled by gigantic conglomerates who stifle innovation.
Changes would only occur every century or so through bloody revolution.
Hardly a paradise. |

That's what Free Enterprise SHOULD be, assuming that businesses and individuals act in a morally and socially acceptable manner. History has proven time after time that they do not. Corporations attempt to control the governance of the nation for their own ends.
I do agree with you JGE that the government preaching morals is like putting a wolf in the henhouse to guard the chickens, but at least we have the opportunity to CHANGE those in government. We have NO way to change those controlling corporations. |

| And yet government has shown itself to be so moral time and time again? You socialists amuse me in a twisted way, you claim to be against violence, and then put all your trust into organized violence known as government, the very organization that brought you the holocaust.
Some of us will remember, as worldwide economies continue to crumble, how you blamed those who do business on a voluntary basis. Yet you will give more power to the likes of whom are capable of genocide and world wars. I wonder if your family will be among the victims of your violent ideology? |

kudos:4 | hahaha ... that's a good one.
Why are worldwide economies crumbling? Because of the greed of corporations and individuals who are the same kinds of people who caused wars and genocides trying to dominate over others. It's no different. |
