I think there is a fine balance between laissez-faire and government regulation. If you have 100% laissez-faire- you get all kinds of dirty dealings, kickbacks, monopolistic practices, etc. If you have too much government regulation, you can hurt the profitibility of a business.
There are benefits and drawbacks to all political systems. Ultimately, in politics, I want to see people who understand this and understand balance in this imperfect world where idealism is foolishness.
It is like this in every aspect of government. If abortion was illegal, girls would attempt it themselves and die. It would be just like prohibition in this day and age.
The real question of politics is: what is the best we can do? I have no fricking clue even how to start answering that question, as most people do- because people either base their politics off of idealism or fear.
