Don't be fooled by Obama...

All things mentioned are important. Many of the problems with them stem from “political” interference and government interference – actually two different things – very closely related and intertwined, but different. Yes, there should be laws protecting consumers and the environment and laws relating to contractual matters. However, too many times the laws enacted overstep the authority of the enacting body and actually result in more burden for the average consumer in the form of higher prices and inferior products.

Consumer protection laws (or the interpretation of them) have many times relieved the consumer of any obligation of intended or responsible use of a product. Environmental laws are enforced in such manner that those with the financial ability are able to pay a fine continuously rather than correct the problem – those lacking such financial ability are out of business. Contract law has become so complicated due to frivolous litigation/court interpretation that a gaggle of attorneys may be required for what should be a simple agreement.

The continued argument that there has “never been a free market and never will be, so we must regulate it” is one of the biggest cop-outs going. The abolition of slavery had nothing to do a free market’s failing to “sort it out”. To imply anything of the sort is either pure and utter distortion or just plain ignorance.

Today, many Americans are enslaved by the inferior products offered by the mass merchandisers as the result of over regulation and over taxation of small business – only the Walmarts and Costcos are able to survive. It’s going to get worse as more regulation is enacted or becomes effective – more regulation gives more power to big business. American buying habits are also much to blame, i.e. the price only mindset.

Circumstances will improve only when Americans begin, once more, to provide for themselves, accept individual responsibility for their own actions, and move away from the instant gratification/entitlement mode of thinking. Moving back to the original intent of the Constitution is the only way the nation has of surviving!

 

Much current regulation actually gives more power to "big business" thereby eliminating the smaller ones and creating monopolies. I'm quite sure that is NOT helping the situation.

 

What, me worry? LOL

Unknowingly, it seems, you have recognized the problem: "they" have found ways around the constitution. The US will be able to survive only when such is no longer practiced.

Perhaps if you were or ever had been repsonsible for providing for yourself you might be more concerned about the long-term well-being of the country.

 

So fix the current system, removing it isn't fixing it.

 

Bravo excellent post!

 

he isn't a dictator... I don't think you guys know what a dictator is. you're as bad as the morons on the left who said the same thing about bush.

 

By saying you guys you assume we all see him as a dictator. No he might not be a dictator and yes he has passed some horrible things but that's how the game works. If he doesn't pass anything then the political parties will always oppose anything he brings up. Like i said, the current infrastructure needs to be reformed; same way Ron Paul wouldn't get anything done if he were elected. The paulbots know this, it's not a defined perspective but it is a simple way of "enacting" some sort of change or at least starting it... Everyone see's bush as this monster when he wasn't the one with absolute power, the infrastructure let these things happen. It's up to us to change them, political reform within the system won't happen (imo) for another 20-30 years unless the people actually rally up and take part in it.

That's just my opinion, take money out of the equation. It's up to the government to protect us, not reinforce their absolute power by occupying foreign soil in the name of security. The government shouldn't partake in anything, it should be left to the states. Federal government is a joke

 

no, by saying 'you guys' I mean the guy who posted it and the guy who just agreed with that post.

 

I am responsible for providing for myself, and I'm not at all concerned about the long-term well-being of this country. All the shit that happens here is due to idiots voting for richer idiots, and therefore I do not vote nor will I ever, so I have no place to complain anyways.

 

I think many people have just been protecting liberal ideals, not really meaning to protect Obama's administrative mistakes.

He has made several, if not many, mistakes of conscience. Alternatively, if he had not "played the game," we would most probably have a worse planet than we do.

I'm not really going to go on about it, right now.

 

sounds like you need to join the http://www.aclu.org/ their whole job is to protect the constitution

 

Since ron paul is out I sure as hell aint voting for the occultist mormon... Its obama for me!

 

Abortion is killing.. not very hip, free anything= hip, he's against the joo owned fed reserve, he's against the irs, he's against "pac" he's pro liberty which is more FREEdom,

he's the most hippy guy on the ballot.

 

Ya, but his probability makes it a pointless vote -- unless it can sustain a better destiny.

 

Ron Paul fathered (and arguably raised) Rand Paul - that bothers the shit out of me.

 

Yeah. Same here, brother.

 

Once his father dies i am sure he will snap out of it, hell he might even start thinking on his own.

 

Dude, don't word your comment in such a misconstruing way. You made me do a news search to see if he was out of the race. Nah, Ron Paul's nabbing delegates from Romney.

Obama = Romney And taking into account Bohemian Grove and secret societies, Obama's a cult member himself.

 

ron paul is basically out of the race, it seems pretty clear that romney will be the nominee. hopefully ron paul works a miracle (hell, i'd be willing to look the other way if he rigged the thing at this point), because at least ron paul will actually be able to bring something to a debate.

 

He's actually doing a lot better than we are lead to believe. It's my understanding that a brokered convention is not only possible, but beginning to look likely. If this happens all bets are off and I think Paul will have enough steam to push through
