[quote=peterb]Anti-trust laws, drug safety and stock market regulations all have their beginings due to corporate and systemic abuses. So the FTC, FDA, SEC and other govt regulatory groups were enacted to avoid these abuses in the future. Maybe they were all shams to begin with in order to give the population the impression that the govt was trying to solve certain problems, but the end result was that they were a reaction to big problems that occured when corporations were allowed to function completely unchecked. The problem is that these groups have morphed into control devices by the very corporations that they’re supposed to regulate. I dont think it’s “protection money” so much as it’s “control money”.
By lacking any energy policy for the last 40 years, we are now at the mercy of the “free market”. I agree that this will be self-correcting in that high prices will intitiate change and alternatives, but it will be painful for many people because we were not prepared for it. Eventhough Stevie Wonder could have seen it comming.[/quote]

If we had a free energy market oil would be $30 a barrel. A free market means that companies are free to develop resources to meet demand.

Our energy market is not free because the Socialists Democrats in Congress will not allow companies to go out and develop new supplies.

Why will they not do this?? Because the environmentalists contribute to their campaigns and they couldn’t get elected without the money.

[quote=peterb]What “Middle Class”? There may be a “Middle Gap”, but the Middle Class started going away a long time ago. The fact that no president nor congress has actually created an energy policy since the Oil Embargo of the late 1970’s should tell us all a lot about both parties! Even Business Week concluded years ago that corporate influence should not be allowed in politics.[/quote]

The problem is the government has too much power and controls to much which is why corporations are forced to pay protection money to the politicans to protect their interests.

If you want corporations out of politics, then get rid of as much government as possible and then corporations won’t have to pay the protection money.
