End rant.What we need is free markets; a disintegration of the regulatory barriers that prevent the lower middle class from building small businesses and employing the underclass.
There are a lot of people, myself included, that would say that this is complete hogwash and that the regulations exist for a reason. Lately though, I've had a change of mind. Why? Because I have worked with a startup and seen first hand how much it seems that bureaucracy is in place to stifle innovation. It's insane. Not to say that some regulations aren't needed, they are but in many sectors it's just too cumbersome. Also, whatever happened to good old fashioned "buyer beware?" Do we really need big brother holding our hand all the time?
