How should government regulated a businesses practices? Okay let’s start from the beginning. With the dying job market there will be a increased interest in alternative ways to make money for the average American. The option most Americans will probably be looking toward will be new/small businesses. The government’s red tape combined with the competition makes it virtually impossible for a new business to survive. If the government were to lessen their control over small businesses by means of zoning laws, permits, inspection costs, and taxes, the possibility of creating a new business would become a more viable option for mainstream Americans. Though American should not expect to become super rich, rather instead hope to make enough to replace the income they lost. For the business that don’t just survive but rather thrive this would increase the amount of jobs available for those who can’t handle their own business. For when a business grows to a certain size the government should create a new type of government job. This new position is one that people are trained in the fields of economic decision making and smart business planning. Once a business grows to the point where it employs say 1000 people, a person trained for this position is sent by the government to monitor and advise the company and find the best ways for the company to not go under, preventing the loss of jobs to many Americans. Though this person has no actual power and is strictly an advisor. When a company grows to ten times this size (10,000 employees) a higher ranking government employee, with a higher level of training comes in. This government employee has more power than the previous. This one has voting power of ten percent of the company, and also has the authority to release information about the companies decision making to the government and recommend whether the government should intervene more with the company. If the previous government employee recommends more government intervention and the government’s review of information provided is reasonable enough then the government should launch an investigation into the company and it past business practices. If it turns out that the company is at risk of going under or outsourcing then the government should create a list of possibilities for preventing the loss of American jobs and sit down with the company owner(s)/ Executive officers and attempt to determine a viable option. If a viable option can be reached and the owner(s)/ Executive officers refuse to take it then the company must pay 50% of the salary to all employees that are to be laid off until they are able to find another position paying more than 60 % of their previous income, or pay for the employee to be retrained in the field of the employees choice. If no viable option can be found then there is no way that it may be prevented and therefore will be no penalty as long as the company gives adequate notice to its employees and stockholders. I believe this is a very fair way government could get companies to compromise on what's best for the company as well as what's best for the employees. And therefore best for the economy. What do you think? You don't have to read this^^^^ If you don't want to, just tell me you plan instead.

What are your options when the government is a thief and will not return what it stole? Obviously taking the government to court is a non starter in the country where the government appoints the judges. Clearly if you do not have the means to pursue the government on an international arena, the only solution is peaceful non payment of anything which the government thinks you owe it in the future. That being all future avoidable taxes of any kind, including any fines or government duties. If the government does not play fair, then the only solution is to make the government redundant. Does anyone have a more acceptable solution to resolving this form of conflict? (short of stealing from the government?) Some judges may be independent, but you can be sure that lawyers are not able to act without conflicting interest. As the courts excluded non bar persons from bringing a case, you cannot therefore bring a case as no lawyer will represent you fairly.

How does government welfare not breed irresponsibility, crime, and government slavery? If the government pays for you to eat and live, then those on welfare have NO cost to being irresponsible.

What extend should a government be encouraged to do business? In Malaysia, there are many areas where the government has investments through its investment arm or through the ruling party's investment arm. Do we vote for a certain political party to form a government so that it can be rich and the people be poor or deprived of the fruits of economy? I totally disagree with too much investment by the government. The people should be allowed to participate in such investments. Not just the ruling government and its cronies. This is not democracy. This is day light robbery.

Why is the federal government allowed to strip power from states? The framers of the Constitution stressed the importance of a limited federal government and states' rights, yet recent years the federal government is loading states with unfunded mandates and stripping much of the states' power. How can they be allowed to get this big? Thomas Jefferson would be appalled at the size of the cancer we call the federal government if he were alive today. I have been studying his writings and he was against so many of the things the federal government is doing today. The feds are suing Arizona over a law that 80% of Americans favor. Where did they get the authority to meddle in states' rights?

Why should the Federal government have the ability to preside over issues like abortion and same-sex rights? Abortion, Same-Sex Marriage, The Death Penalty, Education, etc. should all be in the hands of the states! Why should the government be able to make decisions on these issues, point on point. Who's saying our Federal Government has the best judgment? Let the people decide on these issues in their respect states, and create state competition.

How did the Weimar government allow hyperinflation to occur? Part of what I study at school in history is the Weimar republic and one of the problems faced by the republic was the issue of hyperinflation. The main reason hyperinflation occurred in the first place was because the government was pretty much bankrupt and decided to print more money, but something I've always wondered is why the government did this. I mean surely someone in the government would point out that no matter how much money they print it wouldn't make them any richer and would only lead to hyperinflation. But printing more money solves nothing. In fact, it makes things worse, surely they realised that?

What do the government spend on advertising? During every program we appear to see a government advertisement for one thing or another.

Should the municipal government have a key to each tenants apartment? Municipal governments in Pennsylvania are now requiring landlords to mount the keys to each apartment outside the building in a "Knox Box". The city will have a key to the box and only enter one of the residential units in the event of an emergency. Personally, I'd rather they break down my door in the event of an emergency. I don't trust the cops, the fire dept., or the EMTs. Why should the government have keys to tenants homes and not homeowners homes?

Can someone help me understand?

Does a government that is powerful enough to fulfill all your needs capable of enslaving you against your wish? If your ability to feed your family becomes dependent on one omnipotent authority, are we as good as slaves to that authority? Is this why our founding fathers built a system government that was definitively limited by the constraints outlined in the Constitution? Is this why our founding fathers wrote a Constitution that explicitly prohibited the federal government from enacting laws that tells people what they must eat (for example) or whether not they are allowed to pool resources for the purposes of conveying an election-affecting political message? Do any socialist programs enacted on a federal level definitively force regular citizens to surrender much of their individual authority to a big powerful authority that might someday use it against us? Does giving the federal government the power to provide healthcare mean they also now have the power to deny care? Does giving the federal government the power to prevent corporations from transaction deemed not in the national interest mean that someday they can sanction any corporation for any other reason? Does giving government the power to usurp the homes of middle class families like in the "Kelo vs. New london" case mean that property rights are non-existant? [please STAR this question]

How is what the government does not any different than what a mafia does? A government just seems to want to eliminate crime because they want to eliminate their competition. They don't want the people to fight crime because this would eliminate thier power. Also like a mafia, there is no such thing as a balanced budget as there doesn't need to be. A mafia will just extort money to finance their operations and to make profits. Unlike a business they will not just try to persuade the buyer to buy their service or product. The governments main premise is that might makes right and the ends justify the means. A mafia's main goal is to rule and a governments main mission is to rule.

I feel like if I can just get a tiny handle on it, the whole thing will fall into place for me. Thanks!

Why does the government engage in anti-property rights policies that hurt the environment? For example, the government overturned the common law precedent that polluters could be sued by the owners of property which they destroyed. The government also declares that forests are "public property," which leads to extinctions because nobody owns the forest and the animals within and therefore nobody values the animals and trees within the forest enough to take proper care of them (if somebody owns a forest, they aren't going to permit all the animals to be killed and the forest to be chopped down because that will cause them long-term economic loss). Why does the government engage in these ridiculous policies that violate property rights in order to subsidize pollution? Why do the Greens call for more government intervention when government interventions themselves are doing massive harm to the environment? Shouldn't the government just respect property rights and therefore permit property owners to keep pollution off of their property or to conserve land?

How come you republicans blame the stimulus failure on government? Note: Assume that our taxes are being used for: A government agency handling health care inefficiently; a government agency handling education inefficiently; a government agency handling transportation inefficiently; a government agency handling immigration inefficiently... The stimulus is being used by private entities, not the government! Whilst your 'pro-capitalists' like to blame the government for our economic downturn[and you would be right thanks to Mr Bush], you fail to acknowledge that it is the private sector [which you embrace] who is mismanaging the funds and not creating jobs for us, and it isn't the government's fault. The government just put gas in the tank, and the bankers, the contractors, and the big capitalist fat cats who have let us down are driving all over the place. Long live deregulation and no government oversight, right? Yes, I know, we should have not bailed out anyone, and let the country go down with everyone's savings and jobs, and we all should have taken a dive in the name of a few capitalist fat cats. Give me a break.

What is so different between the Government and the mafia? What is so different between the Government and the mafia? Both use scare mongering to extort as much money from their victims as possible. Both try to justify their actions by claiming the money they take from innocents is for our protection. Both claim to have the support of the people. Both will do violence and/or imprison us if we do not pay them. Both want as much power over us as possible. Non-Governmental business and individuals on the other hand allow us to trade with them voluntarily. They actually produce things of value they sell to us. Whereas, Governments (like the Mafia) only steal, pocket for themselves and redistribute the wealth earned by others.

Why do liberals have more faith and trust in the government then themselves and the American People? Everything they advocate is always about putting the government in charge.

Should government cuts start with trimming the number of politicians? There are 29,000 professional politicians in the UK. This is a ridiculous amount. Why should the British public stand aside and allow vital public services such as health and transport be cut in this recession (I work as a railway engineer and we have had our track renewal workload cut by 30%) while the bloated, generally venal and corrupt political class get out of jail free. I suggest a taxpayers revolution whereby everyone witholds taxes until the axe falls on unnecessary government committees, overpaid mandarins and incompetent local authorities. Anyone with me?

Why do liberals and conservatives believe that government needs to intervene to fix problems it created? The liberals advocate all kinds of domestic government interventions to fix problems that were actually created by previous government interventions (as sound economics proves). The conservatives advocate more government interventions abroad to fix the problems that the previous government interventions abroad have caused. Why are both liberals and conservatives so blind that they cannot see that the problems they want to fix with more government were caused by previous government interventions. Why do liberals want the government to nationalize the health care industry to try to correct the problems that 60 years of government intervention in the health care industry have created? Why do conservatives want to invade half the Middle East to fix the problems that previous American wars have created? Why do the liberals and conservatives both see through the other side's favored interventions, but not their own? Why do they make the same arguments when their interventions fail (not enough money was thrown at it, the wrong people were in charge etc.)? Why did the conservatives flip-flop on WMDs in the exact same manner that the liberals flip-flopped on Monica Lewinsky (originally, the liberals claimed that Clinton never had sex with Lewinsky, but eventually they switched to claim that it was irrelevant; the conservatives did the same when the WMDs turned out to be imaginary)?

When I mention guns are bad on here, the American gun nuts start ranting about the governments going to kidnap them in their sleep and do something to them or walk into their house and do something to them (they're not sure what, but it's bad). What will happen? Will your sons and daughters in the military and government suddenly decide one day that average citizens should be sent to the coal mines? Will they lock you in prison while they sit in your house and laugh maniacally? And what in your mind is the motivation for the government to turn on the people?

How can anyone trust the Government do deal with global warming? Whether you are a believer or a skeptic you can't honestly trust the Government to help us from climate change. They don't have a good track record when it comes to predictions. No prominent politician or economist predicted the current economic crisis yet hundreds outside of the circle did. The writers of the mises institute did. I agree that big oil can be greedy but green companies can be the same. Global warming can change the weather but it can't change human nature. Only a fool would put these matters into the hands of the government.

When is the American government going to raise taxes? There is no doubt in my mind that taxes are going to be raised soon (whether in Obama's administration or his successor), the issue is when. As everyone knows, the stimulus package, military spending and the new health care overhaul add substantial amounts of national debt. To ease this, either the government can limit spending (Republican support) or raise taxes (Democrat support). Problem is, Keynesian economics dictates that you should spend yourself out of a recession. Therefore the only way to decrease the deficit - raise taxes. But will Obama have the guts to do it or will he leave it to his successsor?

How can a government run health insurance entity "compete" with private companies? Will it pay taxes? It boggles my mind that the proponents of a government run health insurance entity would actual state that this entity would bring competition to the insurance arena. How would these private businesses compete with someone who does not have to pay taxes. How do companies compete with an entity that can literally raise taxes to pay for operational costs or an entity that is funded non voluntarily by the citizens of the United States? Can the private insurance companies pass legislation that changes the rules of the game in the insurance business? No but the government could certainly dictate the rules of their own business by passing legislation in its favor. Can someone please give me a logical reason as to how this government run health insurance option would do anything other than run private insurance into the ground to ultimately pave the way for the government to be the only health care option?

Where are people to live when rental prices exceed the tenants ability to pay? Our government does not care. There is land around Brisbane marked for Housing commission usage and has been so marked for many years now without any sign of development into public housing. Perhaps they are waiting for a time in the future to sell it to private developers at a (No doubt) huge profit.

How will it be possible to have both government health care and free market health care?

Won't the government have every incentive to change rules to get as many people on the government program as possible?

How come Americans don't realize corporations are in bed with the government? Not buying GM because the government is so-called running it is pretty funny. GM used to run the government and tell them what to do. They basically operated like the government. It's funny how the proles like to assume corporations are competing with each other everyday, like they're on a battlefield. These companies only succeed because the government looks the other way. If Wal-Mart, Microsoft, GM and other companies were regulated by the government properly, most of this nonsense wouldn't be happening today. The truth is, the management at many of these companies work less than the government workers you rag on everyday. If you people ever had jobs, you would realize this.

What do you think of the British Government planning to put abortion adverts on our TV? I've just heard that the British Government are planning to put adverts on TV about abortions, and I have to admit it makes me feel sick.
