Economic unfairness, not overregulation, is the problem
By Greg Sargent

The Post just released a new finding from its new poll that goes directly to the heart of the big argument over capitalism and economic unfairness that will decide Campaign 2012. It finds that a sizable majority sees the current economic system as inherently unfair in a way that favors the wealthy, and sees this as a more serious problem facing America than government regulation of the free market:

What do you think is the bigger problem in this country — unfairness in the economic system that favors the wealthy, or over-regulation of the free market that interferes with growth and prosperity?

Economic unfairness : 55

Market overregulation: 35

I am not at all worried about the 35% or so of our population that's crazy or stupid enough to be "conservatives". What worries me and bothers me is when they garner enough support from the non-crazies and the non-stupids to win elections and cause damage.

It soothes my soul to see evidence that people don't buy their bullshit. Thanks for posting this and may this study be fruitful and multiply into more like it.

It is regulation that spread equality of entry into the market place.
