Is our economy better regulated by liberty or by government?

[bripat9643]

I want to repeal the Civil Rights Act. If you own a business and its your investment than you can refuse business to whoever you want. Your $$$ your risk. If a Black restaurant owner want's to refuse service to Whites...more power to them. They will lose $$$ by not reaching out to a larger customer base, but it's their $$$. Same if racial roles were reversed. The businessman that caters to all races will be more successful. It's common sense. We don't need a nanny state to tell us how to get along.

See libertarians don't care if businesses break laws. No punishment. Let the market decide.

If the laws are repealed, then no one would be breaking the law, you fucking dumbass.

Let free market decide.

Business demands freedom from government regulation when it comes to labor laws, environmental regulation, product safety laws or building codes

But when it comes to defending against unfair competition, protecting their business, patent protections a legal system

Where is the government

 

[Mac1958]

"Liberty or government", I always love those binary questions.

The economy is best regulated by a carefully-created and implemented equilibrium between "liberty" and government.

Where is the government

In Washington and your state capital.

Give us some specific examples.

Remember the anti regulation crowd? They would point out a few crazy regulations as examples of why they are bad but then they deregulated the banks. Those regulations weren't bad.

Republicans don't just say government is bad they prove it.

They're stuck in the absolutist cycle right now, where "all" this or that is "bad".

They're in desperate need of a leader who can break them of that cycle.

Leaders. Plural. They need to first get rid of the jerks in the Senate and House before I put a Republican in the white house.

Which Republican running would veto a GOP passed bill? Jeb? Bush didn't veto one Dennis hastert Tom delay passed bill. Not one?

Christy who would shut down a bridge to bully his opponents? Trump? If trump was different he'd be an independent. Walker got recalled he's such a partisan hack. You get the point.

1929 instead of 1984?

Common sense says liberty since liberty works through millions of shoppers each day while govt works through a handful of distant bureaucrats each day.

Goddam that makes no sense.

Freedom makes no sense to servile totalitarian bootlickers like you.

The Constitution was written so the government might get involved in the economy, and as soon as the ink dried on that document the government started passing laws regarding the nation's economics.

 

[Bombur]

When looking at market economics there are a lot of ways things can go wrong where a perfect market is not created and there can be all sorts of outcomes that can come from market economics that are not preferable. There is also the reality of the government having certain roles in modern economies, which includes relationships between the states and between nations.

A strong respect and understanding of market economics is critical to understanding the issues our nation faces today. Ideological devotion to laissez faire economics tends to blind people more than it helps them as does a blind devotion to fairness.

stupid stupid stupid liberal has no idea that Commerce Clause was designed to promote Republican capitalism or liberty, not communism

[Darkwind]

Well if we let the private corporations regulate,

1) the working class suffers
2) wages go down
3) safety of workers is an afterthought
4) depression here we come

None of which is true in the least.

I did not do that.

Your argument is illogical.

Wrong. that is absolutely not why the Constitution was written. The states wanted a national government to do only those things they couldn't do themselves, like provide a national defense and prevent states from imposing tariffs on each other. That's all they wanted.
