Regulation does not necessarily need to be about deciding what's right and what's wrong. It's about making life better for people. That's supposed to be why we have government. If they are not improving people's lives, why do we even have them? Too many people see the government doing nothing to improve their lives and think there's totally nothing wrong with that.

I fail to see how some of the octogenarians in DC, who are making a kiling for decades in trading on market moves that they initiate/regulate themselves, are making life better for your family, or mine.

Because at least half the country thinks that government can't/shouldn't help them, and reliably votes for people who can't/won't make their lives better. We get the government we vote for, and too many people think the government's job is to grief people.

> You are transfering moral agency from yourself, to the government

That is the deal in a state based society. There are alternatives, but are you ready for Council Communism and it's ilk?

> WOuld you let the government decide for you whats right, and what's wrong ?

Yes, in a state based society

In a state based society fight for democracy and civil rights. Freedom must be defended
