A great society:

Allows people to own their property and labor, and doesn't aid nor interfere w/ any person that is harming no one else.

Allows people to worship whatever God they want, or no God, and treats them w/ respect either way.

Allows people to succeed, or fail, without making one a villain.

Like John said, Bill Gates is wealthy because his idea has made all of us wealthier. The Rockerfellers made everyone wealthier, and Henry Ford, etc. What is evil about free enterprise? Nothing.

@adulby they would be smaller private businesses people wouldnt know who was selling legitimate products and who wasn't i know you want it to work like that, but it doesnt work like that in every single case little boy. Consumers would not know which products to trust and which products did which.

[selymak]

@jrsub3 OMG I LUV U

[MrJewJake]

@adulby yes, but if government did not put certain bounds or laws on how far businesses could lie customers would lose their faith in business as they would be cheated out of their money. Their needs to be a certain amount of government regulation i don't understand how you can possibly not agree

[adulby]

@MrJewJake ya, thats because they are unnecessary. I was just clearing up that we have those laws cuz i thought you said we needed them. Companies pay companies to rate their products. Kid Toy companies actually pay testing companies to certify their product so it is safe. the government does not need to step in.

[MrJewJake]

@adulby exactly and "libertarians" are against the false advertising laws

[adulby]

@SimplyBonez Also, no people are going to partner with an owner who is just going to cut and run. they would never be able to set up a business that was worth millions of dollars without giant investment. it would take loans and many years to get enough revenue to equate with this. He would have to answer to the market far before he could "cut and run". Often other companies will be the first to tell consumers "he is lying!" to attract consumers to their business. we dont the gov just each other

[adulby]

@MrJewJake We have false advertising laws in place. So businesses cant make ridiculous claims but if we were to make an agency to regulate every single business's advertising and marketing then we would have such a giant government bureaucracy we would have to tax people so much there wouldnt be a business. At some point the consumer just has to be smart with his purchases. Plus an owner of a business couldnt make enough money in time to cut in run. He would never get ROI.
