Barber cut a little too close I see.I had to run out and get my haircut so I have not been able to reply until now. I have come to realize much since then. I was thinking over your example and wondering with all the large industries running wild with no regulation why would you cite raisins. As chance would have it I got into a conversation with the person cutting my hair, we'll call her Susan, about her daughter who will be getting her drivers license March 22nd of this year. That lead to discussing her needing to get a job to pay for the extra insurance. Susan was telling me how hard it was for her daughter to get a job. One of the problems was all the regulations about who could work where. Some places had knives, no kids selling cigarettes, and a list of other regulatory conditions. I was stewing this over driving back and something occurred to me. The middle-class is over burdened with taxes, they are over-burdened with regulation, so whenever someone in government talks about raising taxes or adding regulations many in the middle-class cringe and say, "We know all about taxes and regulations and those are bad things and we should not have anymore of that." Senator Warren isn't kidding when she says the system is rigged. She is not just talking about the banking industry. Our whole system is stacked against us by the rich and powerful. Vote for Republicans this fall at your own peril.
First off, most of the regs you're talking about are state and local matters. If you live in a Blue state, those are Democrat regs.
Secondly, which party has increased the number of regs dramatically over the last 5 years? Yes, it isn't the Republicans.
Third, which party is against more regulation?
Fourth, which senator pushed hardest for one of the biggest expansions of government regulation recently? Yes, that would be Sen Warren, first head of whatever bureau Dodd-Frank set up. So if the system is rigged, she has helped rig it.
Can I take that to mean you don't believe any more regulations should be added to the financial industry?
Yeah, whatever.
You contradict yourself in your own post and then draw the most inappropriate conclusion.
