Re: Still fairly generous...
said by JazzJRabbit  :So why are you turning to the government now to regulate the industry? The last i checked, the government is charged with enforcing the law. This is not done by private companies.
And again, you've proven my point about how badly the government is doing a job of that when it doesn't even enforce the laws on the books.
Asking that the government simply do the job it is supposed to be doing is not the same as saying that the government should not usurp ownership of a private industry.

Asking that the government simply do the job it is supposed to be doing is not the same as saying that the government should not usurp ownership of a private industry. Actually the government is charged with both enforcing and creating the laws. So it is all the same, whether is's enforcing already exhisting laws or creating new ones to ensure competition and fair business practices.
Keeping what I just wrote in mind, let me rephrase it once again. Your point in the thread yesterday was that since government cannot do its job effectively we should let the private enterprise roam free without ANY regulation. It is what you said yesterday and I quoted you twice on this matter. And this news piece shows exactly what would happen if you completely removed government regulation. So why are you suddenly all for government intervention now? Is there any pattern as to how and whn you switch sides? |

New York, NY | Government regulation of an industry and enforcing laws that protect consumers from false advertising are two separate things. Once that is understood you'll realize that he's not flip flopping on anything. |

Enforcing existing laws regarding deceptive practices does not equal confiscating private networks and having the government run them.
He's very consistent.
