Leaving Green to the Free Market - Barron's

"The free market with laissez faire government messed up the world economy" -Leser

So where are all the people just clamoring to enter the worker's paradises of command economies? Gee, I just don't recall Soviet Union/Eastern Bloc being economic powerhouses. THE Wall, as I recall, was to keep people in, not out. Otherwise the average citizen of the USSR would have walked on over to The West. On the contrary, it appears China has possibly learned that lesson.

It wasn't laissez faire government that gave us the elimination of redlining. It was the opposite. Increased regulation always yields increased costs. When will Liberals get it that cost increases are passed on to consumers. Corporations don't pay taxes, shareholders pay taxes (2 times - once as the income of the corporation and again as dividends received). If you don't think so, watch what happens when cap-and-trade goes into effect.
