Like me, martin understands the pitfalls of government intervention. LaSalle professes to be self sufficient but still expects the government to be his guardian angel (sorry about the metaphor, martin).
This is stupid. Do you not understand that the free market would have put all these terrible greedy corporations right out of business? The ultimate check was there. The market was working. The the stupid government decided it new better than the invisible hand, and saved all these horrible corps that made billions ripping off irresponsible and stupid people at the cost of a trillion or so dollars.
