re: #803 000G

It’s still a false dichotomy. The question should not be “more or less government?” but “what kind of government?”.

When you put a bunch of people in a room to decide on what regulations are necessary you’re going to have a lot of people tossing money at them in order to protect their own interests. Right now we have a federal political class that has a built-in financial interest to regulate everything in sight even when they don’t know wtf they’re doing. If you want to take money out of politics, take politicians out of the daily lives of the citizenry.

Now, no where in there did I say we need to dump all their responsibilities nor am I naive enough to believe the feds will start reigning in their power. Some of us prefer to go down kicking and screaming///
