The reason the recession continues is specifically because the gov. did not regulate the corps. enough. The republicans continued to reduce regulation more and more and the corps. went crazy with greed. The banks issued risky loans because they could make $$ and now the gov. is covering for them. The big wigs continue to get their big bonuses and the consumers who took out those loans are screwed. We need more regulation, not less. Corporations cannot be trusted to do the right thing.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2345027683509714220.post-35596849713409132382008-11-04T12:12:00.000-08:002008-11-04T12:12:00.000-08:00Meritocracy is fraught with corruptive potential. ...Meritocracy is fraught with corruptive potential. Who would decide who are the most intelligent people? Who is to say these so called intelligent people would not establish rules of order that only benefit themselves? Who says people who have lower than average IQs aren't able to know what's best for themselves and others? Democracy or representational democracy works on the premise that people will elect people who think most like them or will work to benefit the electorate. Doing what is most logical is not always the best thing for the most people. And even logic is relative to the thinker's own experience and enviroment.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2345027683509714220.post-4980114442028979062008-11-04T11:35:00.000-08:002008-11-04T11:35:00.000-08:00At the very least corporations would not be influe...At the very least corporations would not be influencing government like they are now.ZarPaulushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10923548883992534673noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2345027683509714220.post-43172140397015681992008-11-04T11:34:00.000-08:002008-11-04T11:34:00.000-08:00You do know what average means right?
