One of our posters has suggested the existence of such governmental regulation.
Very very interesting. He did not elaborate, but can anyone weigh in on what he might have meant by that? He wrote that within a comment on our 'present system'.
Yes, it is worth its own thread. Huge stuff.

@averagejoe1 saidIt's right out of Karl Marx and Stalin.

Also Pol Pot. Mao. Castro, and a few dozen other hardcore commie tyrants that took over and made slaves of the populace. ,
@averagejoe1 saidIf the government gives it to you, like a factory or stadium, should the government regulate it?

Regulating the ownership of what? Marijuana? Sounds like government regulation to me, or regulating whether or not you have car insurance, pretty regulated.
I assume you mean there is regulation you don't like personally and will work to stop all of that stupid regulation crap like when assault rifles were banned in 94, for ten years and lo and behold the death rate from assault rifles went down 70% but I guess that kind of regulation that helps slow down the deaths from gun violence, not in MY town will I stand for ANY regulation of assault rifles.
THAT kind of regulation?

@sonhouse saidNo. He won't say it but he's talking about regulations of those things 'owned' by billionaires who make billions on the backs of public investments.

@wildgrass saidAssuming they give me something like that, and thankyou very much, it would be mine. So any arrangement which you suggest would have to be contractual. Of course, as you speak of regulations, there are many regulations with which all companies and enterprises must follow. So I would follow them, as I run my own company. Why are your questions so easy, but my questions always seem to be hard, when they are easier than your questions?

The answers seem to be answers but when you don't like the answers you claim they aren't answers at all. Like a Jedi.

James Madison:
"The great object should be to combat the evil...By the silent operation of laws, which, without violating the rights of property, reduce extreme wealth towards a state of mediocrity, and raise extreme indigence towards a state of comfort"
The Fifth Amendment makes it explicitly clear that it does not violate property rights for the government to take property from the wealthy as long as it is done by due process of law.

@athousandyoung saidDuh. Why state what is already in black and white? Who would not know this ? But, Do you know about, say, the border? Inflation? Child and fentanyl trafficking?https://founders.archives.gov/documents/Madison/01-14-02-0176

Tell us what you think. Or, you can say "One is charged with jaywalking if he walks across a street". Wow.
Sorry man but you are a lightweight.

@athousandyoung saidSorry. You made such a simple statement about the law, that one must do everything legally. Duh, I say. We all know that. So I was suggesting that you might write about real problems in America. Not boring statements like that one was.
