The issue isn't regulation Vs non-regulation, but regulating that which needs to be regulated, and not regulating that which doesn't need to be regulated. It's ridiculous to think both sides want extremes on both ends. We can't choke the economy, neither can we not have accountability of companies. It comes down to simply being wise stewards of the lives of this country.

@ocmyhome You won't find a progressive who thinks every regulation is a good regulation, but every Ron Paul supporter will tell you that all regulations are bad.

That's the difference between a thinking person and someone who's been brainwashed into a religion masquerading as a political ideology (free market worship).

There is a such thing as overregulation where business cannot produce a product because of all the red tape.. Example being the oil industry. regulation worsened the oil spill in the gulf. the oil companies wanted to drill in only 500 ft of water (which would have been a much simpler fix) but the gov said no 5000ft is better. libs said "spill baby spill" ignorant that if that well had been in alaska(drill baby drill) they could have easily shut it down. overregulation caused more regulation.

@mropinionful Nice, I like how you just completely made up information there.

@bobmuffins Ya, because putting out a shitty product will get all kinds of people just throwing money at your feet. WTF?

@whatisahumans The "free market" is simply allowing economic freedom. Believing people should be free in the economic realm, which is just part of social freedom doesn't mean you are brainwashed. No Paul supporter will tell you that all regulations are bad. Bankruptcy laws and private property rights would do more to regulate businesses than financial or epa regulations would.

Tell me what a "progressive" is. Assuming that word has meaning, what is it that a progressive is progressing toward?
