Government regulations you claim don't harm big businesses do harm small businesses you make light of.
It is entirely possible, and in fact almost always the case, that regulations are written to apply differently to differently-sized businesses.
Socialist governments seek to disrupt the competitive forces natural to free enterprise and force changes designed to benefit the worker over the business
Ummm...for the most part, sure. Everyone who works is a worker. Why wouldn't we want to benefit them?
driving up consumer costs and driving down economic vitality in society as a whole.
Probably false. At least you'll need to support this point. What exactly is "economic vitality" and how is it measured (since, to know whether it's "driven down" or not we need to know how to measure it)?
Marxism never made an economy great.
Measured the way capitalists measure economies, this may be true, though not to the extent you seem to think. But then, Marxists don't value the same things as capitalists.
That said, why all this talk of Marxism? You're the one that keeps bringing it up. No one (aside from you) is talking about implementing full-on Marxism.
When Chrysler went bankrupt Obama had to bail them out to save the unions at the expense of the American taxpayers.
Yes. Bush and co did the same thing for the financial sector. So what? Those people who work at those companies are themselves American citizens, and when they fare poorly, we all do a little worse ourselves.
The greedy worker makes a huge mistake when he looks at how bosses live and thinks he is getting the shaft. He was offered the job he took because he was begging to get the job but after he took the job he did nothing but gripe and complain and cause his boss grief because he could not be happy being forced to work and sweat for wages which were lower than his boss'
Two points:
1. You could replace "worker" with "Jew" in that paragraph above and it would sound just like Goebbels' propaganda about the "lazy Jews" in the lead-up to the holocaust. What we learned, or should have learned, from that episode and others in history is that almost no group of people is inherently worse than others. Workers in general are no more greedy than their bosses.
2. More importantly, you have tipped your hand more than you should have. Taking your words at face value, it seems that you want a system where the average American citizen is
forced to beg for whatever the boss is willing to give. Well, having seen behind the scenes, I can tell you that a great many bosses want that same thing, and are actively scheming to bring about that situation. But why in the world would anyone want that kind of arrangement generally? I cannot think of a reason, especially since it obviously creates a more or less permanent under class and over class.
You blame random corporations for driving wages down in an entire country. That is not what drives the value of money down.
You've switched from talking about wages to the value of money, as if they're the same subject. They aren't. But only someone with this kind of sloppy and undisciplined thinking would agree with you.
Government waste, fraud, abuse, inflation, regulation and taxation are all major factors driving the value of wages down, not a 'bad' corporation here or there.
Again, support your point. I think your claim is false, but feel free to say why it isn't.
