3. If we continue on this path to becoming a Right Wing Country,
he is correct Free Market Principles give Business absolute
freedom with no responsibility to the country or employees
Business's only responsibility is to its investors.
This means only one thing, the wealthy starting with the
advantage continues to reap the profits.

There is no commitment to the common good. This requires
regulation. In a Democracy, Regulations are required to
promote fairness among the various groups. Right sees this
as redistribution. Business should have absolute freedom
They do not concern themselves with the poor. Since their
constituents are for the most part in the top tier, having
lkower classes and underclasses does not concern them

We have not been able to push back as much as we need, the
poster has some good points We are on the road to Third
World status
