And government does nothing but bad.
Swear on your stack of Ayn Rand books that the world would be better if we had more corporations, because they are perfectly ethical and never screw anybody over.
Yes, that's right. Never blame the con artists^W^Wcorporations who didn't do what they promised. Instead blame the government for trusting them.
Government should be there to protect consumers from price fixing, and that's just about it.
Can't we both agree that corporations and governments abuse their power as a matter of fact?
All people and institutions that have power sometimes abuse the power. Sometimes the abuse is knowing, sometimes it's accidental.
This is not terribly interesting.
You're taking what he said and swinging it so fully in the opposite direction it makes you look as crazy as him.
In my defense, I wasn't commanding the HN audience to place 100% of the blame on one party or another. I was just illustrating how insanely idiotic it was for OP to command us to absolve the corporations of their sins, and instead place 100% of the blame on the government.
I have never read or owned an Ayn Rand book.
