Let's say for the sake of argument that you agree with me that the US should not become a completely state-controlled economy like the former Soviet Union.

However, our private-sector economy is regulated by laws.

Do you want the lawmakers who regulate business to have no idea how business works? Because that's what we get with the Dems. And people who have never worked in business, who have never started or run a business, just don't grok what makes sense or doesn't make sense for businesses to succeed.

so this is a political thing? “thats what you get with Dems??”

people who run businesses and start businesses should stay the F out of the government. government is by the people and for the people, businessman (especially ones that currently bought their way into politics for a couple of years) do not give two shits about people, only themselves and absolutely nothing else ever

Unless you want to live in a country that has no private sector (i.e. the state controls all media, all manufacturing, all stores and markets, all restaurants, all transportation, ... ), be careful what you wish for.

That is not (by far!) what the person you are replying to said! That is a straw man fallacy at its best!
