Hey, just let the free market handle everything! The more free the better, right? Keep the government out of people's lives, the businessmen of the world will solve everything.
The truth of the matter is that Capitalism, (which I am all for, BTW), is more like a professional football game than anything else. Without pretty strict rules, (and the will and means to enforce them), guys will put a lead pipe in their sleeve for the opposing quarterback. The economy turns into a barbarian fest, with greedy, amoral criminals looting the treasury, and shipping all jobs overseas to improve short-term profits. "I'm ruining the country? Who cares? I'll be rich, and then I'll be dead", seems to be the prevailing attitude. Enron, Worldcom, jobs in India, etc....., it's all the same. "There will be no tomorrow".
