I AM a conservative to be sure. However, i feel that the American people are becoming slaves to large corporate entities and big banks. I believe in profit. It is a good thing. I just feel that the big guys are ignoring us and doing just what they WANT to do. Am i wrong?
I do not believe that my political idol, Barry Goldwater, would ever want this environment we live in now.
Correct me if I’m wrong here on these points:
-Big Government that regulates more business limits competition by its laws so that only the bigger corporations can profit. Such as the Pharmaceutical industry that controls the medicine. It makes it difficult for smaller business’ such as herbal or energetic to make money. But how else does it restrict it though?
-The above also restricts what the national wealth could get from all different kinds of business’ profiting. And with restricting what a business’ pays its customers, it makes it even more difficult for the business to make a lot of money and therefore add on to the national wealth.
-Big Government increase the spending and thus increases the taxes on us.
-Big Government limits people’s personal freedoms to choose from all kinds of products because big corporations took over all of them so the people can’t choose what they truly want.
At least Big Oil is actually providing the labor and investment to get the gasoline to your car.

Big oil vs Gilbert Arenas
WASHINGTON — Gilbert Arenas is accepting less money from the Washington Wizards, invoking an attitude far, far removed from the world of his working-class fans.
“What can I do for my family with $127 million that I can’t do with $111 million?” he told The Washington Post.
Big Oil has record profits. It’s not their fault because the price of crude has gone up. People are willing to pay more for what they pull out of the ground.
But, do they still have to charge more? Or maybe still charge more, but put more into Research and Development (that takes away from the bottom line and moves us to the future).
I don’t expect Big Oil to give up profits and I certainly don’t think it’s an obligation. I truly believe in people’s right to make as much money as they can. But on an individual basis, like Agent 0, do we need all that much profit?
Is greed still good?
(As an aside, not being a Christian or particularly religious at all, WWJD with all his profits?)
