No More Laws

Imagine if most of our congressional and legislative delegation were elected from one industry. Let’s say 65% come from the glass industry. I would suspect plastic would have a hard time of it with all of the laws and regulations that would be generated requiring the use of glass and limiting the use of plastic. Think of all the uses where plastic has replaced glass over the years. Glass bottles are a thing of the past but that would not have been the case if the glass industry had been able to get more of its people elected. Over the years the industry would have continued to get strong and it could have strangled the life out of the plastic’s industry or any other product that attempted to infringe on there ability to grow, proper and control.

It really doesn’t matter what industry we chose to make this example, the results are the always same. If and when any single group of like minded people control anything, there position will always dominate the course on which this nation will travel.

That is why is it ludicrous for us to continue electing lawyers. They represent the overwhelming majority of elected officials at both the state and federal level. Law schools keep making lawyers so they continue to find new ways to earn a very good living at the expense of all of the other industries. Yes, we need laws and we need people qualified to insure justice will stand at the end of the day, but we don’t need another lawyer politician making ever more laws simply to make it easier for their industry to grow and prosper. Lawsuits are a drain on our economy and only the lawyers are getting filthy rich while other industries are dying a slow death and taking the jobs with them.

If I could write one law that everyone would understand, I could do it in one sentence. “There shall be no new laws”. I think we have more than enough.
