We currently have that – some of it implemented by Republican administrations and lawmakers.

The problem is that over the last 50 years Republicans have abandoned responsible governance and sound public policy for reckless, irresponsible conservative political dogma.

And now an equally reckless, irresponsible Supreme Court dominated by conservative ideologues has further undermined necessary, proper, Constitutional regulatory policy.

The fight is not to establish well-regulated capitalism, but to defend laws and policies already in place that promote responsible regulation.
