[Case] So are you like a total anarchist? Or do you only care about eliminating rules and regulations that force businesses to actually pay for the cost of doing business?
[Platt] Correction. The consumer pays for the costs of doing business, including the taxes imposed on business. [Case] And the consumer should pay the full cost of the product. Requiring the producer to pay for the cost of production influences the charge for the goods and service. Allowing the producer to dump crud in the air and water may cheapen the price of the goods but it passes the true cost of production on to whoever has to deal with foul air and water. At the point where air and water are foul we have a public problem and require a public solution hence the need for government. Some of us bed wetters think government should require a solution at the source before it even becomes a public problem. Now, are you an anarchist or what? moq_discuss mailing list Listinfo, Unsubscribing etc. http://lists.moqtalk.org/listinfo.cgi/moq_discuss-moqtalk.org Archives: http://lists.moqtalk.org/pipermail/moq_discuss-moqtalk.org/ http://moq.org.uk/pipermail/moq_discuss_archive/
