I agree with many of the assertions by Libertarians that less government intrusion is good thing, and I agree with lots of Ron Paul's economic principals, despite the fact that I am a Bernie Sanders supporting, Obama loving liberal.
I think that raising the minimum wage is a good thing for governments to do. That and to promote business fairness. Actually the only thing Obama did to really piss me off was that he never went after the banks for the 2008 fiasco. It's the job off the government to enable the SEC to keep a check on such matters for the benefit of the entire World's economy, because if the US dollar fails, and it just might if you listen to the logical arguments of people like former Texas Senator, Ron Paul, there will be a severe Worldwide depression. The whole thing is a house of cards and the governments may just keep all the central banks printing money and praying that inflation will stay low.
But I digress, I think it's a good thing to have government oversight on fair and safe business practices.
It seems like things are starting to change in the political establishment. I mean, I'd never think that Trump would be doing this well, but I think this a reflection of both parties being sick of the status quo.
These things are all cyclical in history. They broke up the monopolies in the beginning of the 20th century, and it seems as though there is a tidal movement in that direction again. Go Bernie!
Capitalism is GREAT! Seriously, it makes the world go around. I'm not being sarcastic.
BUT... most corporations only goal is to make profit. Frequently that bottom line has unknown expenses that the corporation will avoid and pawn off on the local population. I.e. Environmental degradation.
And there is a form of corporate Darwinism that means businesses will adapt and consolidate. Monopolies are almost as big a problem today as they were in 1890 and "Too Big to Fail" is BS.
Anyway, I thought I'd just throw that out there.
