For example, the extreme proposal of the attorneys general presumes that they know the best way to organize the marketplace and how to combine various software programs. This is absurd. The answer is so obvious that the only real question is how can we stand by while the government tries to nationalize an industry that has provided so much benefit to our country. Competition in a free market produces the best combination of quality, service and price while encouraging innovation. As a result, consumers benefit.
American consumers can make choices for themselves.
A man on the street knows more about his needs than any group of government lawyers. Pursuit of this new and harmful economic regulation will have drastic consequences. First among them is the destruction of the freedom to contract in a fiercely competitive marketplace. In addition, there would be ongoing regulation of an industry that has proven to be highly dynamic and the source of many beneficial products. The key business decisions and technological innovations of the American economy are made every day without the help of government planners.
