What's your perspective on the role of government in protecting consumers while promoting free enterprise?

without the protections that the government provides then investors will be less likely to invest but businesses are still, in the current market, more inclined to give their dividends to the investors instead of outing the money into R&D and giving the public a better product. I think that the government should be able to force the breakup of monopolies and should implement incentives to re-invest money into R&D or physical capital.
