But there are also realities and limitations on power that are required. The corporate meddling you despise actually only gets worse -- the more power the govt assumes to favor ATT or Verizon by regulation.
Q. - What is the political system where business is privately owned, but totally regulated by a central govt power?
A. - I know the answer and I don't want to go near it..
And there are also priorities.. I would like to see the Feds masterfully fulfill their PRIMARY duties first. Like being responsible enough to write a budget -- even if one of the current clowns is pulling his pants down on Twitter.

I know, I know....It's called Social Democracy. Look around you, there are Social Democratic nations less than a quarter our size, giving us some strong competition in the market place. Own a Japanese or German brand car? Heck, my car has an American name, but it's built by union labor----in Canada. Ever sit back and enjoy a nice French wine, or flown somewhere in an Airbus? Why are so many American manufacturers losing business to these people? Seriously, think about it, they can even come HERE and run a business better than our own companies can, with American labor, on our own turf and under the same government regulations.
Why is that do you suppose?
(Could it be that the penny wise and dollar foolish, self serving and corrupt way American managers do things is utterly destructive? Or, maybe it's because they (Our competitor nations.) spare no expense making sure their children get a high quality education, so that they turn out the best engineers and scientists? I tend to think it's a little of both.)
