    Increasing taxes and making more laws and making gov’t bigger in the process and giving them more power is not the answer. This is a free society and a free economy. Let’s try our best to keep it that way.

    If you were to stack all the law books on a shelf side by side, that shelf now reaches over 80 miles to contain all the stupid laws in this country. You are responsible to every one, and some scared citizen cried foul or wanted protection for every one. You can’t move without breaking a law or being taxed already, and yet you think this is self-gov’t? You do not make things more efficient by giving gov’t more control.

    If you want everything to be controlled, go to Russia. Um, actually, Stalin had his traders shot if they didn’t perform to his wishes, and produced some of the best traders in the world.
