"As usual, most of these laws tell us what we can't do'

The reason beaurocrats hate the constitution is because it tells the GOVERNMENT what it can't do. It stops in the gov from regulating us completely, something the libs are working on anyway.

The fourth wing of government. This is the stuff that the 10th Amendment reserves for the states.

I'd bet that upwards of 80% of the laws and regulations we have on the books are not necessary and can and should be wiped out.

Start with the ones that tell us how much water our toilets can use per flush, what kind of light bulbs we can use, and that type of nonsense.

Let us work back to the notion that we are responsible for ourselves and our behavior, and don't need a Nanny State looking out for us.

From Atlas Shrugged, my favorite quote:

“Did you really think that we want those laws to be observed? We want them broken. You’d better get it straight that it’s not a bunch of boy scouts you’re up against . . . We’re after power and we mean it. You fellows were pikers, but we know the real trick, and you’d better get wise to it. There’s no way to rule innocent men. The only power any government has is the power to crack down on criminals. Well, when there aren’t enough criminals, one makes them. One declares so many things to be a crime that it becomes impossible for men to live without breaking laws. Who wants a nation of law-abiding citizens? What’s there in that for anyone? But just pass the kind of laws that can neither be observed nor enforced nor objectively interpreted”.

I’m a criminal. I admit it. Local, state, federal laws, codes, ordinances, rulings, edicts, mandates I break them all. Which ones? I don’t know. Or care. Arrest me.
