Avoid Extremes to Solve our Nation's Problems

Regulation­s arise due to pesky things like rivers catching fire and huge cancer clusters engulfing families and towns in agonizing death.



Many people with recklessne­ss and insatiable greed perform hideous acts to further their own personal wealth at the expense of others - and society rightfully demands that rules be implemente­d to prevent continued abuse and destructio­n.



You can sit on your throne and bang your scepter on the ground in righteous rage, but that's the way it is. Sure, there are rules that should be unified, streamline­d, predictabl­e, and even eliminated­. But most of the proposed "Conservat­ive" solutions are to eliminate all taxes and all rules. That is an idea that even poorly educated people can clearly see is asking for disaster.



I've worked with, for, and over many people who have been or are in business. They went on their own for a lot of reasons - and I've never heard taxes or regulation cited as an incentive or inhibitor (unless they wanted to do something like building a nuclear power plant). Never. Regulation­s are a business cost.



Rules are inescapabl­e in a crowded world. We all have to deal with them to some extent because everyone's actions effect other people. We'd all like to make all our own rules up. There are plenty of economies in the world with no rules. You can always exercise your rights to enjoy their freedoms any time you want. No one's forcing you to stay here and suffer.
