What about safety regulations, Massa energy and BP had numerous violations on there coal mine / oil rigs. Granted they were able to buy off the government into not paying attention to there violations, but how would a free market fix this, The boycott of BP is disasterous in achieving its goal.

@atlasman55 Why the name calling?

[wasteofspace1234]

I hate this "no can do" attitude. First of all, it's damn foolish to think that a laissez-faire system devoid of regulation can function in the best interests of the people. Look at England in the late 19th century. Now, the reason government and government regulation doesn't work is not because the concept is flawed, but because DEMOCRACY in it's current form is flawed. In the United States this is painfully apparent. Don't fix your problems by eliminating them, REPAIR them.

[atlasman55]

Your 'logic' is unfortunately compromised by the fact that you live within a dysfunctional, so-called 'democracy' (that is in truth nothing of the sort). Perhaps, instead of fantasing about ridiculous anarcho-capitalist utopias you should focus upon fixing your degraded political system. By the way, it's pronounced "lay-say-fair", not "lah-zay-fair". Just thought you might like to know (clearly you've suffered from an educational deficit some point).

So just because Democrats dont do it so out in the open and I realized that that some how negates my point? You are fucking retarded.

[baldurus1]

@scienceatheism Congratulations, you managed to defeat your own argument.

[scienceatheism]

Uhh dumbass democrats get payed by fucking companies to. Just not as blatantly as the Republicans do.

[baldurus1]

It's simple, don't vote for republicans. Problem solved.

[TreachMarkets]

@JacobSpinney It's not half bad.



[gbob509]

It's pronounced less-ay faire.
