Stonewall, you are my new hero!

Your dissertation sums up my feelings for the most part perfectly.

Why is so hard to understand simple concepts? Why is 'big business' which is a huge part of our economy, the new villain for the Dems?

The Democratic party is bribing people with the promise of taking wealth away from those who have achieved, and distributing it to their supporters. It's called socialism folks, and it doesn't work. Never has, never will. You can't take away the money from those who make more and give it to those who make less or none. The system will collapse.

BTW, before you jump, I'm no great achiever, I've worked all my life and still do. I simply don't believe legally obtained money should be forcibly taken by our government and given to me or anyone else.

Yes, 'they' deregulated the airlines, and for many years we the consumers have enjoyed the affordable pricing the competitive free market provides. As to whatever mess they're in, they suffer (and flourish) in the economy right along with the rest of us. I don't want to pay the government through my taxes to run the air travel business.

'They' derugulated the phone company, which has over the years provided us all with vast price cuts, and more choices. I believe that move directly contributed to the technilogical progress we've made over the last 2 decades. Imagine it still plodding along under artificial government controlled pricing.

Name me one, just a single one efficient federal agency or program.
