I never said that the over-regulation of business in our country was good. I am talking about competing with labor costs. Super-capitalists are always telling us that labor costs drive up the cost of everything. It is simply not true. I am not pointing the finger at you, specifically. They can't have it both ways. It's either labor or regulations that are the prohibitive factor in American business. If you say both then let us simply move everything out of the U.S. and let the chips fall where they may.

As far as getting rid of OSHA, who would monitor the way employees are protected on the job. I am not a big fan of OSHA but I certainly see the need for some form of oversight lest these corporations begin to use workers as fodder.

I am not a socialist nor am I a super-capitalist. I think the the government has its finger in too much and at the same time I think that corporate officers don't care at all about employees. Call it what you will. I call it respect for humanity something that corporations do not have.

The states should be doing what OSHA is a bad attempt to do. The states regulate building, sewage, water, food and fire codes already. They do so very well -- better than OSHA.

The free-traitors want no responsibility for the society which supports them, they only want to take.

People are just a 'cost of doing business' and have no intrinsic value, dead or alive. The might as well be asphalt in the road, a cost of making money paid to build a road.
