18. Thanks for this thread, Arendt!

:hi: It's high time we discussed all the issues involved in a civilized manner. Thank you for trying to allow for that.

I, personally, prefer heavily regulated capitalism to socialism. But "heavily regulated" is the key. The nature of corporations to push for more & more of everything, the predatory nature of competition for money, ignoring social impacts of business decisions... all of that and more, require a heavy hand an HONEST government to balance the scales, and keep things sane.

What we have going on now is runaway predatory capitalism, taking over government decisions, and stealing tax dollars. It has to stop.
