Separation of Business and State

[jgoodwin]

Our founding fathers were exceptionally wise to ensure a separation of church and state. Now that enormous power lies in the business and financial world, we now see the results of too close relationships between large corporations and our own US government. The American people should demand Separation of Business and State.

Reward: A more just government and society.

Government is supposed to be there to create laws to protect consumers and producers. To protect people of the country from outsiders. The accounting laws protect investors from fraud and under the table deals.

State cannot truly separate from business. State decides whether a product or service will have single or multiple competitors. They create taxes to increase or decrease the demand of things.

Governments aren't about fairness and just enough. Instead of an optimal solution for everything, we have choices. Businesses are allowed to compete economically to see what the market demand is.

I understand what you're saying is state should not have personal preferences towards specific businesses because for personal profit. Government needs to be scientific and complete unsubjective.

Not just yes, but Effin Yes!
Business and government mix about as well as Religion and Government.
