The term "free enterprise" is often used to describe America's
|
|
market system. Unfortunately, when the government sets rules and standards
|
|
for the companies in the system, the result is not free enterprise. Free
|
|
enterprise is defined by Wilson S. Johnson, President of the National
|
|
Federation of Independent Business, as "the successful marriage of personal
|
|
freedom with economic freedom". (1) With free enterprise comes competitive
|
|
pricing, more wealth which is distributed widely among the population, and
|
|
small business survival--an important trait when over 50% of America's
|
|
non-government workforce is employed by small businesses. Deregulation
|
|
brings free enterprise in a sense truer than it has existed in the past.
|
|
Businesses should not be regulated by the government.
|
|
|
|
Deregulation in the eighties has brought new meanings to industries
|
|
such as airlines, railroads, and telecomunications. Although adjustment
|
|
proved traumatic, the airline industry grew from 36 to 156 individual
|
|
airlines.(2) The result has been competitive prices, a huge web of new
|
|
routes, and competitive employee wages. In 1980, Congress got rid of rules
|
|
that encouraged railroads to keep unwanted routes, that forced prices too
|
|
high to compete with truck and barge rates, or kept prices too low to make
|
|
a profit. (3) Now railway companies are making deals with shippers at
|
|
competitive rates allowing, once again, the railroads to be an important
|
|
part of America. Since the breakup of AT&T in January 1984, almost every
|
|
element of tele phoning has been open to competition. Numerous firms have
|
|
been formed boasting low long-distance rates, car phone models, fiber-optic
|
|
cable, and such. The complexity of customer's bills and other confusing
|
|
aspects of having so many different companies are predicted to work
|
|
themselves out with time. It is obvious that deregulation has allowed
|
|
competition to evolve and thrive in industries where it had never been
|
|
allowed to.
|
|
|
|
It is obvious that the presence of many companies in the market is
|
|
beneficial to the consumer in terms of competitive prices and creating
|
|
jobs. "The annual yield on a small savings account" has soared from 5.5 to
|
|
over 9% since 1980.(4) About 80% of passengers travel by plane under a
|
|
discount fare.(5) The cost of standard telephones fell one-third between
|
|
1982 and 1983.(6) Although the government has been allowing companies in
|
|
these industries to compete, this lift of a guiding hand should not allow
|
|
companies to risk health hazards of their consumers. Just because the a
|
|
irlines are allowed to compete should not imply the destruction of the
|
|
Federal Aviation Administration's safety rules under which airpalnes must
|
|
fly, for example. Government's role in business should be to see to it that
|
|
the consumer is safe without limiting his choices and educated so he can
|
|
make the best choices. Deregulation brings the greatest good to the
|
|
greatest number of people by allowing free enterprise to flourish in even
|
|
more of America's big industries. Free enterprise had built America and
|
|
will sustain America as a safe, educated, flourishing nation.
