Inadequate federal regulation, not Romneys Bain Capital was at fault. During the Republican primaries, theres been unjustified criticism of Romneys Bain Capital and similar financial industry enterprises. Such enterprises are being faulted because many if not a majority of such ventures profit only the enterprises owners and executives. We all do what we can to function within our environment and commercial enterprises exist within environments primarily affected by the nations governments. When Bain Capital maximized their profits regardless of the effects upon all others, it behaved true to its purpose. Bain and Romney should not be faulted for what was essentially driven by governments laws and regulations. The faults are due to the voters and the office holders they elect. Im a proponent of transparent government that respects individual persons and other entities privacy and self-determination and safety. Our laws should prohibit activity that is contrary to our societys better interests, and our government should be minimal interventionist. Im also a proponent of competitive free enterprise, level open markets, ALL nations and USA states sovereignty and equal treatment under law. Rather than considering these as contrary political positions, I consider them all as valid but its not unusual that they require parsing to determine the most desirable outcomes. Our goal is minimum inferior and maximum superior public policies; "We got to accentuate the positive, eliminate the negative.
