Come on, shin. How do think the US operated before regulations were created to benefit the industrialists?
Before Reagan and the Walmart effect, local communities, independent banks and small businesses within that community were in many ways, still operating in a free "as possible' enterprise environment. At least it was the closest thing to it in recent memory.
It may be a pipe dream, but it's not a myth. And no free enterprise within a civilized society comprised of millions of people with ever be totally free, with no regulations.
What isn't a pipe dream is the demand for an end to Fed and state regulations which have crippled the ability of local economies to be autonomous. In Virginia, farmers are prohibited by law to sell their meat, produce and dairy directly to the public. They are forced to sell to large food conglomerates at a fraction of what their goods are worth.
Spot on. Before pig Reagan, there was a local bank in every community. After pig Reagan, there are five banks. The money went to the top and the urine trickled down. We have a trickledown economy and trickledown government. Don't look up because that AIN'T rain.
