We let those in the 1% the ones who should be taxed fairly and regulated efficiently make up the rules for themselves. Mexico has a policy of Market self regulation, and it is an utter failure is there any reason to say that the American self regulation should be any more effective, no. the difference with america is that there was a middle class and the american middle class along with labor has a voice, a relatively small voice but a voice that keeps us from being crushed .

under the Bush administration a Monsanto (corn growing corporation) head ran the USDA. he has much to gain from under-regulating his corporation.

imo need a law no Cabinet members that can make profits from businesses they run based upon regulations they administer. If you are a Pharmaceutical executive who has much to gain from rushing untested drugs onto the market you should not be allowed to run the FDA.
