Meme: unregulated business is a ponzi scheme.
Leaving externalities to communities, is no different than any other ponzi scheme. Paying investors profits, from that taken from other investors. Until the bill for all those externalities comes due.

The difference being, Republicans LOVE ponzi schemes that are ran for profit. Hate them when they are ran for all, hoping for a break even.

1. Unregulated business is actually a scheme for stealing...
especially when business gets involved with government at any level. The business is there to steal as much of the public purse as they can get in their pocket.

It is also trying to steal in the private sector. The banks are stealing as much as they can. Many other types of businesses are trying to steal too. Think about energy companies and what has happened since they were deregulated. Everything that has been deregulated has become a type of ponzi scheme.
