One big reason regulation is necessary is because businesses that choose to act ethically voluntarily will be put out of business by those businesses that choose not to.
Regulation is always net negative to society. Small group benefits at the expense of the whole.
keyword is "net"
I see the right parroting this notion time and time again. Someone argue why a system with no government intervention, rules, or regulations is better than one with them.
I believe there should be no regulations and I'm a conservative. I'm not the only one who is an anarchist here either I hope. There are many Ron Paul supporters and he's an anarchist so there have to be other voluntaryists here besides me.Can you show me one single post by a conservative poster that states we should have a free market with no intervention, rules or regulations? Just one.
That's what you think. You don't even know my SAT scores. There are people here who think my alma mater is a "tier 4 school".
Easy for you to spew baseless bullshit at people you don't even know.

Free market is what brings full store shelves and great gadgets to our lives. Most of the world knows this by now. Course you have to have mild socialist/redistributionist undertones or you get into a caste type of system with little in the way of bottom up prosperity.
What's revolutionary, is our Constitution, which attempts to protect the individual.A 'truly' free market has never, and could never, exist. It's an ivory tower fiction. It's just a matter of degrees and sources of control. I'd rather a body which (in theory) exists only to protect the rights of individual citizens be that source of regulation. I would agree that there's plenty of room for improvement with the degree, type, and methods...but overall I prefer it to anarchy (ie each individual an enforcement power unto themselves). Fewer people die this way.

250 years later, and we are at the verge of losing the individual. It's been a good run.
Free Markets are always right, it's just that Government (Emotion) gets in the way.

Of course not, because Corporations, Wealth, and Power, are not to be feared.
They are to be desired.
