  1. Government crop subsidies are GREAT for factory farming. They can game that system like no family farmer ever could.

  2. You're looking for a strong-man progressive leader. What you SHOULD be looking for is someone who wants to eliminate 90% of the stuff we begged the feds to do for us. You progressives are some of the worst. You cry all day long about abuse of power and you turn right around and want to give more power to the same assholes to fix the problems that you, yourselves, created, by asking those same assholes for help, 5, 10, 20, 50 years ago. These institutions always take on a life of their own, and they reflect the morals and values of the people who run them. And the people who run them are always power-seeking assholes. You enable the bullshit and then point fingers at all the wrong people. Progressives: It's a big fuckin' bait-and-switch! Also Progressives: Please bait-and-switch us, again!

  3. Reagan decided there should be more Americans owning their own fishing boats (like Barney Frank decided more people should own homes), made low interest loans available, everybody got into the fishing business, and they scraped the sea-bottom, wrecking the ecosystem off Cape Cod. Reagan wasn't averse to interfering in the free market, if he thought he was smarter than the free market. And people in government always think they're smarter, the anointed... Their position proves their superiority (to them). I'd love to see the big firms broken up, but not by force. What's needed is a press that actually reports what's going on, and the public would boycott the bigger outfits and buy from the smaller, and information + freedom would do more to police the free markets than anything the lawyer types in government will ever do. We know what will happen when we put those bastards in charge. The robber barons ALWAYS got ahead by influencing government. And we, the people, always fall for the same lie: "Government needs to DO something!" The public outcry signals the paradigm shift without the government doing anything. But the government then always does something, to gain status and get re-elected. The 5 years later, the robber barons own the legislature and the regulatory agencies on all those matters. Think about it.
