Why is it that so many Americans are against big government, but seem to be in favor of big corporations? You'd think that the reasoning for disliking big government would be the same reasons for disliking big corporations. Let's see, big government means having it's fingers on everything that touches it's citizens. But lots of folks don't like government intruding on those things they cherish.
Even if government is protecting them from disease, contamination, exploitation, and overpricing, they don't like it. Well at least unless the government fails to protect them from disease, contamination, exploitation and overpricing. Then the pancake batter hits the fan. At which point there's likely to be at least four investigations. One each for the two houses of Congress, one presidential and one blue ribbon task force. The findings always range from; nothings wrong, to the government did too much , to the government did too little, to nothing happened, it was mistake.
Which brings us back to the government's too big. The solution is simple. What we need is to eliminate Congress and the Presidency (and vice Presidency) and elect a King for life. This king should have a national credit card to cover all his expenses, but he should receive no pay. When he retires or dies, he has nothing to pass on to his heirs but that which he brought with him to the job. His rulings would be final.
In other words, he would outrank the Supreme Court. Just like in Merry Old England. Oh! Wait! Somebody already tried that. Merry Old England. So how did that work out? England has a similar government to our own now. Except that the House of Commons (see U.S. House of Representatives) is in charge of pretty much everything. Just imagine how that would work here in America with our current U.S.H.O.R. It would truly usher in new national order.
After giving this some considerable thought, I think we'd be better off with larger government and smaller corporations.
