"Partisan bile" refers to your snarky dismissal of the case for deregulation. There are real problems with regulation, including Sarbox. The law has encouraged cartelization of the economy by pushing firms towards acquisitions instead of IPOs. Most regulation punishes startups and protects incumbents. Sometimes the benefits are worth it but often they are not.
- timr 15y agoI said that degregulation was part of the usual conservative shopping list (which it is). That particular remark was no more or less snarky than the rest. But if your primary objection is that I'm snarky...well, that's great. My argument remains. In any case, I'm the first person to admit that there are problems with Sarbanes Oxley. I think that parts of the law were a total over-reaction to the situation, solving nothing. But I'd rather see ammendments to the law than a wholesale retraction. And that's where I differ from most conservatives.
