I think this is wrong- our gov't should not be rewarded control of companies because said companies gain power by buying off our corrupt politicians. Hopefully Jefferson would have realized that the more 'stuff' the gov't breaks, the more we tend to lose our liberties.
Listen to your logic, for crying out loud--you suggest that the government is rewarded control of the companies BECAUSE the companies pay them off? Wouldn't paying politicians off DECREASE control of those companies by the government?
You know, by DEREGULATING them?
No this guy has got to go...he is as bad as the GOP pinup boy
Fortunately, for Americans of Jefferson's time, there were few businesses that dominated the financial state of the entire country's economy as businesses do now. Those times have changed.
Had Jefferson foreseen the scope by which a few business entities control the level of power that they currently do, I have no doubt that he would have held the government responsible in regulating such businesses in the NAME of the people.
So, how much did Obama's minions pay you to post their propaganda? Your name isn't Ellie Light is it?
Help me understand something- it was deregulation that led to the problems with the financial markets? I thought the backbone of lending, and the largest reason for the economies downturn, were because of Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae which control... half of all mortgages?? Wasn't Bawny Fwank in charge of those 2 institutions? But of course it wasn't his fault this happened- never mind that it is his job to regulate the gov't run companies. So blame capitalism instead- interesting approach, to complain about a lack of jobs and then demonize capitalism. I cringe with fear at the unobstructed bristling of communist ideals in this country, not necessarily curse914, but a large portion of this country seems to think that socialism/communism is a better form of gov't. My grandfather left Cuba after Castro took over but before the country was closed. My family came here because it is such a unique, special country- why are we special you ask? Because no other country guarantees your GOD GIVEN RIGHTS. Most countries are only somewhat concerned with the rights that they let you have. Unfortunately, there is no other country to go to enjoy freedom such as this. So we must stand up to the current Socialist administration to protect our constitution. Ignore the accusations of racism, hate, stupidity, meanness, un-patriotism, un-Americanism, obstructionism, anti-progress- the gov't must never be allowed to take over health care, their spending must be stopped, the cap and trade must be stopped, and a third party should be created that truly represents American ideals (sorry libs, this means 'constitutional constructionism').
Or the Republicans can become a viable party again.
Democrats obstructed the regulation that could have mitigated or prevented market meltdown.
Nevermind, no one cares what these morons think.
Democrats have been pandering the race card for so long, that myopic idiots such as yourself now believe them. Shame on you for voting while stupid.
Now they suddenly find Jesus when it comes to unfunded spending? That dog won't hunt!! Well, maybe, perhaps, if Senator Vetter (R-Louisiana) crawls back in to his diapers and whines for his prostitute! A true family values man!
The GOP solutions, found online at solutions.gop.gov - simple. "Just say NO to everything"...
GOP (Got ZERO Plans). Another part of the problem, not part of the solution.
Woodstock is over. Sober up, look around, turn on, tune in, contribute. Your revolution is failing you.
Where is the outrage over socialist attempts? No mention of the AIG, Bernake, and Geithner fiascos. No mention of the Louisianna, Connecticut, and Nebraska Senator bribes.
Did you hear the laughter when Obama said there was overwhelming (junk) scientific evidence of man made global warming. Even he had to snicker.
*******
I think that was ironic laughter from the left.
It was Thomas Jefferson who called for "A wise and frugal Government which shall leave men free to regulate their own pursuits of industry ?.and shall not take from the mouth of labor the bread it has earned?" He was right."
The GOP will not admit any wrong doing when it comes to the Deregulation of the Financial Sector or the Energy and Commodities Markets. Deregulation is shouted from the hill top as if Moses had just forgotten to read that commandment. Unfettered Capitalism is a Dead Scene.
*******
"Unfettered", of course, being the key word.
