>From what I can tell, Dana's point is that we need to consider the total cost to society of business assuming that we'd all agree that society should provide health care and other services to the poor. If that's true, I believe she's saying there's an economic basis for laws regulating business. That is, these regulations will lower overall societal services costs. She's pointed to many economic theories and studies which support this contention and is pushing them forward asking us to disprove them. I'm pointing out that we needn't look to studies as there's whole countries that implement some form of her model with mixed results. Further I'm saying that if we were building a new country from scratch this might work, it's not ever going to work in the US. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:5:193149 Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/threads.cfm/5 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:5 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.5 Donations & Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54
