Reply #10: The fallacies is that laissez faire business is always the best.

Talk to almost any one and they will repeat that business should be run as the owners want and govt. should stay out. If you ask, you mean they can put in their own scales to tell how much things are they will say of course not. Just look at what people want on their food labels and what they say to you. People want one thing but keep saying they want another thing. It is very odd. Most people want to live in the ease of America but say they do not want any govt. to tell them what to do. How do they think we got here? You could go on for ever on this subject. Like drunks on the road, and other driving laws. Standards in most things you buy? I was hearing this long to-do on the evils of the Unions one day, as this owner/ workers was telling his workers. 'Come on we have put in 8 hours and it is time to leave.' The whole thing seems to go right over the people as they tell you govt. needs to stay out of my business.This govt. seems to want to un-due many of those rules business lives by. The Gilded Age is coming back. We shall see what happens.
