Seems like you used a lot of words to simply say
I would very much like to be part of the solution. I suspect you would not like the solution. You don't like politicians creating predetermined outcomes for business? Fine. Lets have one national policy that no unit of government can create winners or losers. Lets have one national policy which prevents any level of government from creating winners and losers by doling out tax breaks to one company over others who pay those taxes thereby giving them unfair advantage over other companies in the marketplace. Lets have one national policy which prevents government from creating winners and losers by barring any level of government from giving corporate welfare or payments to corporations or businesses thereby giving them an unfair advantage over other companies in the marketplace. Let us have one national policy with prevents government from creating winners and losers by waiving regulatory regulations for some companies giving them an unfair advantage in the marketplace.
Do you join me in that Conservative?
Nope, I believe in states rights and the original intent of our Founders. My question to you is if TX can do it, why can't your state? You are the one making predictions and that is all they are predictions. You don't know what is going to happen but you seem to ignore the laws on the books now that are supposed to prevent the concerns you have. Why not enforce those laws? I do agree with you that the govt. has no business creating winners and losers but that is what they are trying to do now and failing badly as is our nation.
Your way hasn't worked, trillions have been spent solving social problems and none of that has worked. All we have to show for it is a 14 trillion dollar debt and today over 16 million Americans not working. What does the govt. then do............spend more and get more involved thus making things worse. You seem to forget this is a govt. of the people and that govt. at the state level is more representative of the will of that state. One size does not fit all and that is what a big Central govt. has created. Imagine the power of the lobbyists with a 250 billion dollar govt. vs a 3.6 trillion dollar govt and 14.5 trillion dollar economy?
If you studied history along with civics you would have learned about the Founders and their vision. They knew that power corrupts and that is what we have today with a large central govt. which is contrary to their vision. If we don't go back to the basics we are going to fail and the entire blame rests with the big govt. proponents as that govt. will collapse under its own weight. now that would be a real dream to other countries around the world that pray for our failure.
