From yobaba:-
"Prime Minster Harper (of the Canadian Conservative Party) recently said in Germany that it was the governments to blame for the recession, not the private market. Every government is a massive non-profit organization that's forced to work in a for-profit environment with for-profit corporations. They have a fixed income with limited room for growth. A corporation's income, and room for growth, is potentially worldwide. The ideal of a democratic government is to create and maintain the structure of a stable society, and provide the services that the people have agreed upon. A ideal of a corporation is to make profit. The only limits to making profit are those imposed by government, and only because breaking the law ultimately decreases profit (if you get caught). Every corporation needs the roads, medical services, police, legal system, etc., that the government pays for. We pay our government to create a stable society in which that those who already have money can make even more money, by way of other people's labor or expertise. In the same decade that personal wealth reached new highs, that the gap demonstrably grew between the rich and the poor, our governments backs were breaking, along with ours, under debt load. While John Havens at Citigroup makes 11 million in a year, 99 percent of the country can't actually afford their house, and most still won't own it in 15 years. (What do you call it again when the entire populace goes to work all day to pay for the right to live on their land?). But it's the government's fault that that bubble burst. They should have regulated sooner. Don't let conservatives push the government out of governing. Governments exist to ensure your children have a safe, rational society to grow up in. A corporation only exist to make profit off your labor and the products (and soon, services) you buy with the money you labored for. " ~per Virgo
