Big government is bad, I agree.

[Deja Q]

Now convince me how Big Corporation is good -- especially when it's the big corporation that bribes big government for special treatment.

I'm not anti-capitalist. But I especially want to know from the pro-big-business faction that can't stand government how their point has validity since they are the ones who ultimately control.

1. The "big government is bad" spiel is a ruse imo.

It is just an attempt to take away the only place "we, the people" have a voice.

2. I disagree!

I do however believe that Big BAD Government is bad. We need to understand whats going on here, this administration is trying to destroy our federal government.

The Decider administration IMHO, are hell bent on destroying our federal government. They want to convince the American people that all government is bad, and doing away with BIG government is in our best interest.

IMO, nothing could be further from the truth. This administration has run up the federal debt, has destroyed our credibility around the glob and has made the average citizen believe that if only we could get rid of those pesky entitlement programs the government would run like a swiss watch.

When our government is run the way it should be, and capitalism is held in check and greed is held in check by our federal government and regulations our in place and enforced then all American benefit.

So it's not Big Government thats the problem, it BAD BIG GOVERNMENT that destroyers our country.

Of course thats just my 2 cents i could be wrong!

3. Big Corporations have some uses.

Some projects are on scales that small businesses can't handle well. Large construction projects for example, or mass assembly line construction, like automobiles. Small companies can build a house or a car, but not skyscrapers or 100's of cars a day.

(The value of skyscrapers or lots of cars can be debated, admittedly.)

I think the problem with Big Corporations today is that the laws under which they operate have been loosened to the point that they can and often do crush smaller companies that show any potential of growing to become competition in the future. And that they can do this crushing through means other than producing a better product.
