Wall $treet CEO’s, banksters and corporate elitists hate economic regulatory oversight for exactly the same reason thugs on the street hate cops on the beat. Exactly the same reason.
Use a gun, rob a bank.
Use a bank, rob the world.
In the words of Warren Buffett, the most successful investment capitalist of all time (but vilified by TEApubliCONs for having the nerve to remember his modest origins and stand up for the middle class):“There’s class warfare, all right, but it’s my class, the rich class, that’s making war, and we’re winning.”
Reasonable regulatory oversight to protect workers, consumers and our shared environment and infrastructure don’t hurt a vibrant economy or the limit the “freedom” of an infinite range of business strategies, they make it possible.
Rules of sports don’t undermine baseball, football or basketball — they make those sports possible. Without a framework of rules within which “freedom” — an infinite range of choices and strategies — is possible, such that no two contests in any sport have ever been the same, sports would not be possible, such that no two contests in any sport have ever been the same. Without such rules, no games could ever happen.
Same with traffic — rules of the road don’t undermine driving, they make it possible — within the framework of traffic rules you still have infinite “freedom” — an infinite range of choices about where to go and how to get there. Without such rules you wouldn’t be able to drive anywhere, through the chaos.
