I don't want to have anything to do with the government. And yet if we don't have any regulations, there goes civilization, there goes security, and there goes protecting you against what people are going to sell you.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
We have to have some rules and regulations in America, or the world would empty out here.
The question is how much of your privacy and your convenience and your commerce do you want your nation's security apparatus to squeeze in order to keep you safe? And it is a choice that we have to make.
When you put in place regulations that are so burdensome, so tough, so much so that they cripple your economy, we then don't have the resources to invest in technologies that are going to make that difference, because it's just going to shut everything down. That's not going to help us as an economy.
Government exists to protect us from each other. Where government has gone beyond its limits is in deciding to protect us from ourselves.
All the time, you take a look at what government rules are, so you can minimize the impact of government regulations. That's just smart business.
We don't want the government to have anything we don't have, because government isn't 'We The People' anymore.
The government has a key role in regulating and making sure there's an even playing field and protecting consumers. No question about it.
I am not saying that government has nothing to offer. Government has an important role in fostering an environment conducive to business creation while also protecting its citizens. These are not mutually exclusive.
In some ways, with the security challenges this country has faced, we have had to put in rules and regulations for business to be able to sustain their growth and create jobs.
When governments are selling, you should be buying. And when governments are defaulting, we should look at that as an opportunity.
