[Copperfield]

You really should acquaint yourself with American history Copperfield; the strike-breaking thugs at Ford and Carnegie, the child labor, the low wages, the fight for unions at the auto plants by the CIO, the deaths in sweatshops from New York in 1911 to Bangladesh today, the pollution of our rivers and lakes by business, the impact of coal on climate change, the robber barons who gouge customers and force competitors out of business, the discrimination against women, the unsafe cars and other products, the lobbyists who take over our government; my goodness I'm sure I could go on all day about what unregulated business does. These guys are not hippies or angels who can be trusted to just be let alone and not pay taxes. Climb out of your wilderness and find out what goes on in the rest of the country. Read People's History of the United States by Howard Zinn and then get back to me on this.

Honestly Eric, we've covered this ground before. When we did I recommended that you research what business charters are, who grants them, the rights granted by those charters and who protects and encourages those rights granted in those charters (long story short - learn what LLC means and get back to me once you understand the concept). The most amusing thing is that you still purchase things made in sweatshops by major polluters (you just don't know it) having long supported the outsourcing of those naughty things to foreign nations in an attempt ease your own conscience. These sort of things go on because of regulation. It's one of the primary features of government regulation.

Keep at it though. I'm sure one day you will be able to name an actual "unregulated" business. At that point we can discuss it. I'm sure it will be fun.
