"A run amok pure capitalist system is not in everyone's interest; they caused unions to rise and socialism to become attractive. Common sense with a touch of what is best for the common good needs to be also understood by our corporate titans. Otherwise, the short-sighted mentality of what the next quarters earnings report will look like (at any cost) vs. what's the long-term objectives of the company is in relation to the society/country/world it serves, becomes suspect."
I trust the long term thinking of a Corporation which seeks to exist beyond the next election cycle more than the Congress with a built in term expiration.
"a touch of what is best for the common good"
So you are advocating doing the work of Unions and Socialism now to spare us from it later?
This seems to be a common theme among protectionists. One of my favorite, Willie Green, made a similar argument for steel tariffs. I'll summarize:
Cheap foreign steel is bad for America. It will drive more expensive US steel makers under. Foreigners will then raise steel prices. Expensive steel is bad for the US economy. So, to protect us from expensive steel on some future date, we must make steel expensive today.
It's some sort of myopia. If you follow their argument (I'm being generous) to it's logical conclusion, they contradict themselves.
