Fear and Free Enterprise:
What is missing in the the national debate on hot political issues, is the debate, and, of the conflict of fear by the people, and the importance of free enterprise to America. America is a capitlist society, thus there is the need, and desire to be free to pursue free enterprise. But there is also a backlash against capitalism which translates into fear and insecurity, of capitalism. Canidates for and in being President need to counter balance the fears and insecurites of the people, against the desire of caplitalism to be free. The voters are fearful of looseing their jobs which translates into inseucurity. These increase as the government is percieved as not doing enough to help the poor and working classes. Which translate to anitpathy at the polls for canidates that are seen as not meeting the needs of the voters. On the otherside of the equation is the need by buisness to be free enough to grow and turn a profit which might benifit all. What has been missing from the national debate is a clear and reasonable discussion of what the balance ought to be between the government saftynet and the the governing of the buisness. This is a balance only of which the state can achieve but is put to the mercy of the patisan political winds blowing through Washington at any one time.
