I’ll betcha my list is longer than your list 😉
Government regulations.
There are government regulations designed to promote the general welfare, and there are government regulations designed to protect monopolies and generate campaign contributions. I bet the latter list is longer than the former. Besides, I wouldn’t shop at a grocery store that sold me spoiled food. Would you?
If I had the choice …. there’s an awful lot of people who don’t have that choice.
Recently watched a doc. about the new Farming in what’s left of the city of Detroit. The concept of “food deserts” came up – where the nearest food is out of a corner liquor store, a few old apples and packaged junk food.
The people started growing their own, on empty lots, not with the official sanction of city govmt, so …. it’s still a bit dicey, but without square miles of vacant lots, they wouldn’t have the choice to not eat the nearly spoiled food that was available.
And I agree with you John – the government is near totally corrupt.
On one hand are the Dems, who are bought off and interested in lining their pockets, and on the other are the Repubs, who seem so vicious with their willingness to literally strangle this society in order to achieve their goal of returning us to the glorious times of the late 1800s USA. I’m glad the OWS movement is attempting to raise the Morality of our economic and political systems from the mindless greed of the capitalist system.
You may notice the Repub. tend to cut those “care for the sick, disabled and elderly” programs you mentioned ….. in favor of the filthy rich.
