I can say what I've said before a number of times. All you have to do is find an example where you've ever advocated LESS centralized government control on any major issue or economic activity.

Where's your endpoint on government power? When will it be too much? I've asked you that in more than one incarnation. I think it got to be too much a long time ago. Your "little bit of regulation" disappeared in the rear-view mirror about a generation ago.

If you are as even-handed on government vs. business as you claim to be, you should be able to show me as many posts here on government overreach and abuse of power as you have written on corporate greed and lust for profits over public interest. Want to give it a shot? Where the free market has gotten an actual benefit of the doubt instead of lip service?

I will "recognize a point of view" from you when you actually demonstrate it.

"Commercial agendas" are countered every minute of every day by other commercial agendas. That's how it works. I'm not the one here advocating monopoly power in things like health care.

As for your last paragraph, historically the abuses and atrocities from government power have outweighed by a couple of orders of magnitude the worst abuses of the private sector. This is not hyperbole. This is hard fact. Look for yourself. The odds of my grandchildren living under a near-totalitarian government regime are far greater than the odds of them living in a free-market America somehow controlled by giant corporations.

"Banana republics?" The leftist imbeciles screaming about United Fruit and Central America in the 60s worshipped at the same time communist totalitarian regimes that killed hundreds of millions in gulags and "Cultural Revolutions." The same idiots who wanted South Africa boycotted for enslaving a portion of their population defended at the same time the communists who enslaved every last person in their own countries.

Moving into the now, we have an administration and political leadership in place in this country that believes the Federal government should control everything down to the most micromanaged local issue. There are countless examples. This apparently bothers you not at all. But somehow a corporation, which has almost no real power over you at all, having a self-serving agenda and desire for profit keeps you awake at night.

You don't think this is a little out of whack?
