Reply To: Why is MK Litzman supporting a monopoly?

Yitzchokm,
the question now is why isn’t Litzman trying to change? Does he have to enforce the corrupt system? Why doesn’t he try and free up the market where possible? Allow for less regulation even if it’s still technically public. Push and speak up for change. Why isn’t he that change you suggested I vote for?
I think Avi K meant he shouldn’t be a nanny at all, not for cigarettes or sugar or anything, but if he does have a big brother policy why is he more concerned about trans fats than cigarettes? It seems he’s not going to be that change. So the question returns are these his policies or the psak of gedolim? If it’s his policy it’s da’as ba’al habatim so why should I vote for him? If it’s from the gedolim, where is the torah source for it?
