Question? I don't need no stinkin question!	excon	12/07/04
H ello political gurus: In my most recent political incarnation, I adopted the economic viewpoint espoused by the likes of Milton Friedman, of the University of Chicago. That philosophy, in general, said that business would flourish in an atmosphere of non regulation. As a businessman, I saw most regulation as having nothing to with promoting the goals the legislation, but as a means of employment for the unqualified. Today, I see that if business is left unbridled, they will rip us off. They (or their lobbyist) write much of the legislation that passes. They have a very friendly congress and president. Insurance companies, the pharmaceutical manufactures and the bankers (credit card issuers) are the worst thieves around. And, I know something about thievery. excon P.S. Oh, no question. I’m just angry as hell.

if I'm not mistaken you are angry about a system of business regulations and not about a system of unfettered business. it is Congressional involvement in business that creates the abuses you mention . Not that I am laisse-fare by any means. I think gvt. has an important role to play especially regarding public safety but the more they get involved the more abuses like this you find.
