Republicans want a moratorium on relgulation. what is regulation?
Edited on Fri Jul-16-10 07:36 PM by alfredo
It is law enforcement. The Republicans want Business to operate in a lawless environment, like they did during the bush years.

Regulation is law enforcement. When Boner or rant Paul says there's too much regulation on business, they are saying they don't want the laws enforced or wiped from the books.

2. I'm calling for a change in language. Don't call it regulation, call it
What it really is: law enforcement.

12. One of the only fertile ground for growth in North America is if regulations on corporations are cut
The rich are desperate for growth areas that will mean big profits. They don't care who or what it hurts. Outsourcing works. It would be better for us in North America is the rich just fucked off and invested in China. They have growth rates there of 11%.

Go away!

15. We have to be patriotic, but when we ask the same from them
they start shouting "class warfare" or "Redistribution of wealth."

If they'd rather pay bribes to corrupt third world leaders than our low taxes, I say go for it assholes, just don't expect us to buy your shitty products. If you don't want to live by our laws, get the fuck out.

17. They don't want to invest all their money in China cause when peak oil hits that market will crash.
The rich are just desperate to get richer though. I'm glad that people are talking about the greed right now. It is about time.
