There are rules and regulations' in business which, if abided by, are designed to keep the playing field square and help keep commercial competition healthy. We've seen the end result of the removal of some of these rules lately, as a matter of fact. The removal of the short-sell rule, which happened last year when the Dow-Jones Industrial average was at an all-time high of over 14,000 points, to now where it's struggling to stay over 11k, had a profound effect. And, for the country as a whole, we are heading to the time when if most of our industry's head overseas, we won't have any jobs' to effect an economic recovery with. FDR was lucky in the sense that he still had his major core corporations' still on U.S. soil to help anchor the war-production effort in WWII.
Yes, but FDR took all the established rules and threw them out the window. He did everything he possibly could to give competition a cancer.
For example, he established non competition pacts. A decent communistic proposal. However he took the goose stepping a little bit too far. After decreeing the pacts, he would have armed thugs and mercenary terrorize those that didn't follow his "Laws."
He mandated, and then enforced at the tip of a gun the artificial inflation of prices both through extortion, confiscation and destruction of private property. Surely you've heard about the millions of pigs he outright slaughtered and did nothing with just to drive up the value of other pigs? This was only one of the more highly publicized events.
He would often march thousands of school children into city squares and have them swear on the bible to only patronize "Blue Eagle" establishments. Or, in other words, the children of the families of the nation were terrorized into cooperating with FDR. Those that did not participate had their doors broken down by axed wielding thugs in the middle of the night.
It is downright scary that you are doing all you can to support FDR. And it is diddlying terrifying that so few people really know what happened.
