Hey, why do we have many important regulations?

... BECAUSE BUSINESS IN AMERICA CANNOT BE TRUSTED!!!! WHY? Let's examine this flash point ... Why do poor repubs vote against their interests? Well, like a fish swimming free in a stream, they get hooked once in awhile. I believe that trump poor folks, those that are not racists, will join us. Want less regulation ... DEMAND LESS CORRUPTION

Because

Lake Erie caught fire.
A chemical factory in Texas exploded/release toxic gasses - again.
Respiratory diseases are up.
Tyson, Jenni-O, and Butterball had to recall hundreds of thousands of pounds of food.
You don't want to live next to a chicken farm or hog factory.
You deserve safe automobiles.
The pilot should be licensed.
So should your healthcare provider.
Employers sometimes cheat their workers.
Sellers and service providers sometimes cheat customers.

And about a hundred thousand more reasons.

It amazes me how many poor and middle class republicans argue against corporate regulations because they think they are hurting profits. I just want to scream! Why the fuck do you care about THEIR profits? You aren't getting any benefits and those regulations are in place to protect YOU, the average citizen. They think that someday, the rich will share with them if they support their agenda.

No, idiots, voting republican will never make life better for you and it can only cause you harm. Wake the fuck up!
