If the owner of a small independent real estate company, I saw the consolidation of the numerous "mom and pop" outfits in the real estate giants that dominate the market today. While our society and the public celebration of the shares of small companies, in reality, they do everything for us, to turn their preferences and policies. In any case, the elites of big government, industry and labor has tried to crush our individuality with the adoption of laws and regulationsto make it harder and harder for small businesses to exist.
This trend has accelerated over the past two administrations and led to the recent legislation, financial assistance and health care reform. Instead of really helping people, Fiat government no longer crony capitalism that capitalism at its worst. The JP Morgan and Citibank is not restrained than they were before the crisis. Our health care is a money machine for Aetnas and the United KingdomHealth Cares, and the public be damned.
Ron Paul, in his recent post, is absolutely right in asking the Corporatist Obama. They do not want socialism, the government has the "means of production", but instead want to "means" in the hands of a few rich private companies. These companies, while nominally independent of government, are heavily dependent on the government to continue to maintain their privileged position. This is crony capitalism rivalthat of a corporate state of ancient Rome to Nazi Germany. As the Roman elite has spoken eloquently about the virtues of the republic, our elite speak of love and sadness for the family farm by giving billions in subsidies for a few large companies are becoming increasingly useless as the cultivation of sugar cane.
Many of my friends are small business people. They are not the inventors who created new industries, such as Bill Gates did with Microsoft. These are men and womentwenty or thirty or forty years ago decided he did not want to work for large companies. Most of these people began to "mom and pop" shops to gain experience and then on to open their own small businesses. From estate agents to contractors to restaurants, a theme became their own boss and call their shots. But each of these people tell me that if you start today, could not achieve what they previously had. It 's too difficultto compete with the unions, the government and the big boys and be successful.
I'm far from someone who does not believe in government regulation. What I do not believe in the government of sacrificing the economic well-being of 98% of the population, so the adults can continue to prosper. For example, instead of breaking the big banks, is allowing them to continue with the reckless behavior that led to the recent crisis. A simple system that allowed themTrade in itself would have to go far for the next crisis. What's wrong with having banks in the banking and investment houses in the investment business?
The morally bankrupt Congress continues to vote on legislation that have not read and was mostly written by lobbyists. The administration continues to move closer toward the collectivization of our economy. The rest of us have become nothing but teeth in their plans. Our politicians, Obamathe local legislature commend the entrepreneurial spirit of America as something to make this spirit as anachronistic as the small independent farmer.
