A comment on some of the current public debate

Some people don't seem to be understanding this post, at least not correctly.  So let me be obvious.

Many government regulations are designed to protect the public from rapacious businesses. The screeching Republican calls for "less regulation" are caving to a very few very wealthy people, who very much do not like anyone watching their operations.  When those people are told not to steal, they scream that the rules are bad for the economy and un-American.

Clear enough now?
