I think the point we should be making here is not whether it is fair or moral. The simple fact is that every attempt by the government to manipulate the economy fails to change anything at best and is often disastrous at worst. Even corporations current excess (which democrats bemoan) is the result of years of government intervention that was loopholed and/or backfired to oblivion. I.e. did not work as promised.
Also I think our current culture of consumerisn is the problem, not capitalism. Without consumerism you could not charge 50+ dollars for fancy water bottle, and then double the price because it's in an "exclusive" color, and still have consumers having multiple in thier collection. And such consumer behavior should be indicative of widespread prosperity, not widespread poverty.
Two people who probably have vastly different worldviews sitting next to each other and managing to mind their own business. Seems like a positive thing to me.
Right, that was the entire point of not just the bill of rights, but the constitution in general. It was meant to limit the power of (a.k.a. hamstring) government.
What people seldom realize about Supreme Court cases is they are not deciding if something (like abortion) is right or proper, they are deciding who (state or federal), if anyone, has the right to regulate that.
