If the bailouts are any indication, socialism will put businesses more in bed with government, not less.Reg Fifehttp://assistedlivingblog.typepad.com/advice_on_assisted_living/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6264112932434493037.post-53231286447664732472009-07-19T19:05:49.009-05:002009-07-19T19:05:49.009-05:00You are absolutely right about the lobbyist for la...You are absolutely right about the lobbyist for large conglomerates and the sad truth is our representatives and senators take the bribes yet somehow stay in office even when we know who they are.Bettyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09152044325037231703noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6264112932434493037.post-22074493505558335542009-07-19T16:23:07.638-05:002009-07-19T16:23:07.638-05:00The reason you cannot buy your raw milk has little...The reason you cannot buy your raw milk has little to do with the government per se and lots to do with the large dairy lobby. They pay to lobby congress to pass laws for your "safety" because they do not want the competition. Also because somewhere along the line someone drank some raw milk, got sick and sued.<br /><br />It's the same with any small time producer of food. The large food conglomerates all lobby congress.
