Utterly free unregulated markets- a nightmare

Today, we risk getting a little geeky by delving into a real pet peeve of mine. There is an entire generation of young conservatives out there who have learned some hard and fast rules that are, in fact, lies. In turn, they create some very strange opinions that fly in the face of logic, kindness and humanity to man.

Here are a few of the most egregious.

* Any government regulation of business is bad.

So you don’t mind if I open a branch of “Toxic Chemicals Are Us” next door to your daughter’s pre-school?

*Outsourcing government tasks is always best (known as the “yellow pages rule”)

One word answer. Blackwater.

*Equal opportunities should be offered, but no affirmative action.

The milk of these people’s human kindness is skimmed and powdered. Honestly.

* Lowering taxes raises always raises revenues.

The first GHW Bush referred to this as “voodoo economics”. It is absurd and has led to a $9 trillion debt burden to pass on to your kids and theirs.

There’s a lot more, but this is already too depressing to read.

Anyway, I tell liberal friend pretty often that, “It’s worst than you think.” It is.
