How should government regulated a businesses practices?
Q. Okay let s start from the beginning. With the dying job market there will be a increased interest in alternative ways to make money for the average American. The option most Americans will probably be looking toward will be new/small businesses. The government s red tape combined with the competition makes it virtually impossible for a new business to survive. If the government were to lessen their control over small businesses by means of zoning laws, permits, inspection costs, and taxes, the possibility of creating a new business would become a more viable option for mainstream Americans.

A. An interesting and lengthy question that possibly deserves an equally lengthy answer. I have worked for various companies. Everything from a family owned business that employed 3 family members, to a large Wall Street firm that employed roughly 40,000 people. The issue that we have here is that in trying to regulate businesses, it's as if the government is trying to please everyone...and in doing so, they please no one. Like the saying goes, "You can't just be a little bit pregnant". As a shareholder in a wide range of publicly traded companies, I have had a few of my common stocks go to zero, while the companies filed for bankruptcy (Lehman Bros. and WaMu are just 2 of them).

What other industry does the government need to target because they make a profit? Food producers?
Q. Should the government get into the food producing business so they can compete against Kraft & General Mills? Shouldn't Americans have more choices and shouldn't it be the governments responsibility to provide competition to private industries so they will make less profits? We cant live without food right? When will Obama get the US government into the food business?

Why should the Federal government have the ability to preside over issues like abortion and same-sex rights?

A. You make a very good point, why indeed do we need 29,000 prof politicians here in UK? An Indian pal of mine asks, how come in India they've only got 500 MPs with hundreds of millions of people, yet here in UK we've got 650 (approx) and only about 60 something million. Time for a massive cull. We should also have laws in place which make it illegal for any unelected person to serve in any government post. Mandy, pack your handbags doll, your out. Edit: during the British Raj the British ran India with a mere 3,000 civil servants, mostly Indians. Mind busting.

Q. There are 29,000 professional politicians in the UK. This is a ridiculous amount. Why should the British public stand aside and allow vital public services such as health and transport be cut in this recession (I work as a railway engineer and we have had our track renewal workload cut by 30%) while the bloated, generally venal and corrupt political class get out of jail free. I suggest a taxpayers revolution whereby everyone witholds taxes until the axe falls on unnecessary government committees, overpaid mandarins and incompetent local authorities. Anyone with me?

A. This is by no means comprehensive. Ethanol is a good example of the government subsidizing a very bad idea with has caused a spike in corn prices which affest the consumer. Usually the government interferes indirectly by allowing subsities or enacting, tightening or easing tariff which will favor a certain foods production over another. The government could adopt a true free market system and let the market find it own equilibrium which would be best for everyone.

How will it be possible to have both government health care and free market health care?
Q. If the proposed tax on existing insurance plans provided by employers is implemented, won't that drive business away from the private insurance companies to the government? Either by causing employers to drop coverage or just by the fact it my be cheaper to get it from the government. Won't the government have every incentive to change rules to get as many people on the government program as possible?

A. It really is not possible, and the democrats know it. Their ultimate goal is to have everyone dependent on the government for their health care. They really want a single payer system. In this video it shows Obama talking about it as well as other democrats. They are fully aware that it will drown out private insurance.
