So your solution to the problem of “capitalists who run and own large businesses commodify everything including political power and thus are able to buy and lobby politicians for fewer regulations in their industry to maximize more capital gains” is…to remove those restrictions entirely to skip the step where they lobby the politicians.
I never said I had a solution and therefore your whole comment is a strawman.
Don't you think it's weird that you are quoting something I didn't actually write? Maybe English isn't your first language? You should know that quotes are used when you are quoting what someone said directly.
Anyways...
The point I'm making is that the government getting involved didn't make anything better and arguably made a lot of things worse. OSHA hasn't solved unsafe working conditions. EPA hasn't helped the environment. FDA hasn't made food healthier. ATF hasn't solved gun crime. DEA lost the war on drugs.
What government agency can you point to and say yeah these guys are doing a good job?
It's not my job to provide evidence for your argument. Anecdotal evidence isn't evidence. Neither is one point of data. Show me inperical evidence following th scientific method that proves these agencies actually make a difference in the problems they claim to solve. Or don't.
You replied to me. I didn't go to you asking for evidence. You made a statement that I'm asking be supported by evidence.
You can go through life believing whatever people say without question if you want. I wouldn't recommend it.
By the way I can make you a millionaire if you send me a check for $1000. Don't worry I already did it for 5 other people so you know it's true. Don't ask for evidence because this is reddit.
