The answer to your question is YES WE CAN!
The other day one of the places where we sell our products contacted me and asked if it was OK to put in a competitor if they were a long ways from us.
I laughed and said please put them next to me, I LOVE competition I am a capitalist. If they have better products I will improve mine, if they are cheaper then I will raise my prices sell the best.
As for the guy with a basket of berries with rocks under the berries YOU won't buy from him again, but my berries are the best, top quality and my basket weighs more than his, you get better value, you get more and you get the best quality and service, I deliver!
The min the govt steps in and starts to regulate that begin to fall apart. Study the USSR and you will find out that it was govt regulations that crushed them. The govt could do nothing right, their govt cars fell apart, light bulbs did not light, workers did not work and we are seeing the same thing as our govt takes over more and more industries.

So who does make the most profit? The US GOVT Student Loan Program, $51 BILLION. Yet the price of college has gone up over 122% in the past few years. Can you get a loan from a private bank...NO the only college loans come from the FEDS...THIS IS WRONG. Want college to be affordable for all, get the feds and loan programs OUT OF IT.
We have been in a recession for how many years now? WHY? Govt intervention. Govt needs to be out of it and out of our lives.
Why does the govt manage marriage? Show me in the Constitution where the govt controls marriage. Or the current IRS scandal over tax exempt 501 3 c corps. WHY?
Home mortgage deduction, WHY?
I can go on and on. The Constitution does not give the govt the power to give me a home mortgage deduction. 27,000 pages of tax laws, this is CRAZY. How about a national sales tax of a flat 15% or so...NO IRS, NO forms to fill out.
Up until a few years ago the US was the engine that drove the world economy, we put a man on the moon and explored the deepest part of the ocean. Then the govt wanted to control it all and the US and world has been on a downhill slide ever since. EPA Regs, ACLU, Dodds Frank, so many FEDERAL laws that even the feds do not know how many laws and regs there are and in fact have been trying to count them and cannot.
1 out of every 3 dollars is what it takes to support the govt and that is growing. By the end of Obama's rule it will be approaching 1 out of every 2 dollars and growing. We are on our way to collasping just like the Soviet Union did...
Its not about gun control or safety of us and our children, its simply about CONTROL...
