John Stossel discusses how big government protects big business from competition

[K9Buck]

Of course, our leftist comrades here LOVE it when big government and big business embrace one another in order to screw average Americans.

Nothing good comes from big government. That is why the Founders went to such lengths to design the Constitution with protections against big unchecked government. It worked beautifully for 200 years but our government is a runaway train now. There are no checks and balances left. The Media was our last hope.

As mentioned in another thread, big business teams up with folks like Paul and Nancy Pelosi, and, together, they cheat average Americans while getting rich. Undoubtedly, top DOJ/FBI officials are cashing in too and that's why they don't investigate this stuff. Meanwhile, average leftists support the Democratic Party and hate Republicans that call for limiting government size and power.

I guess when you merge big government with big business, there's enough money and power between them to do almost anything they want. That's tyranny, not exactly what our founders had in mind for this country.

It's long been the right-wingers' stance that Big Business must be protected because they are the "job creators". Has that stance changed? If so, why do you silly righties remain so concerned about raising corporate taxes?

Make up your minds about who the government is supposed to protect. For the past fifty years, any politician that advocated protecting the rights of the American workers instead of the rights of the corporation has been slammed by you right-wing a$$holes.

You RWNJs cheered when the conservative forces in our government pushed through the law that gave corporations the same right as a person to contribute to political campaigns. Have you dimwits abandoned that premise? Is it no longer the great idea you loonies touted?

Big Business and the billionaire class have been the earthly gods you a$$holes have worshipped and fought to protect since the 1960s. So, don't blame the left. Those "socialists" have been fighting to protect workers' rights since way before you right-wing, corporate a$$-kissers were born.

Wow. You are an angry, bitter, hateful, person. And I thought leftists were supposed to be more enlightened, inclusive, tolerant, and loving.

Businesses are owned by PEOPLE. The purpose of government is to enforce laws and our laws are supposed to provide protections for people to be able to pursue life, liberty, and happiness.

And that's why we need to LIMIT government power because what happens is crooked politicians are paid off by businesses to protect their interests and at the expense of average Americans. We need to limit a crooked politician's ability to do such things.
