However, I would expect that entrepreneurs would generally have a free market bias. I create online businesses because I have an affinity for tech, and because the Internet has largely been an unregulated space.
- cyphar 8y agoI think that viewing any argument that some government regulation can lead to the greater betterment of society as being a "government knows best" view is very close to being a strawman. I definitely see quite a few folks from both sides of the libertarian/authoritarian spectrum. I originally wrote a much longer comment talking about how free markets need at least government regulation in order to function (so people have faith in them) while too much regulation leads to high barrier of entry, but I'm sure you get the gist.
- provolone 8y agoI think there is still room to say: "if the government knows what is best for me to consume, then why not test that logic by taking it to its logical conclusion" If we can't have that discussion without acrimonious downvotes and complaints to the moderator, then what are we doing here? I am inclined to go back to my original point about bias.
