Big Government is Killing Us!

[Rshermr]

If you want a prosperous nation, 'Big Government' must be stifled.




Here's why:

1. Not long ago, former NY Senator James L. Buckley spoke at the Heritage Foundation, on his book “Freedom at Risk: Reflections on Politics, Liberty, and the State,” making the point that big government means bureaucracy and regulation at an ever increasing pace.

2. Consider, by example, Title 42 of the US Code: Laws dealing with public health and welfare.
U.S. Code: Title 42 - THE PUBLIC HEALTH AND WELFARE | LII / Legal Information Institute
Today, this federal law is 1700 pages more than it was prior to the New Deal. The reason is the creation of more and more bureaus and agencies endowed with ever broader responsibilities and discretion in defining the rules that govern our activities and our lives. And these rules have the full force of law!

3. While the officials in these agencies are generally good people, Buckley said, they become focused on their particular portfolio of duties, that, often, they cannot see the consequences on other parts of society. Put this together with human nature, and one can see bullying, and misuse of power, especially when these individuals are immune to penalty, and supported by free and extensive legal representation: they have sovereign immunity in their positions.

Bureau of Land Management?





4. " If you’re a business leader or conservative economist who worries that the federal government is strangling the economy in red tape, 2012 was a banner year.... The federal government imposed an estimated $216 billion in regulatory costs on the economy last year, nearly double its previous record,..." Report: New regulations cost $216B and 87 million hours of paperwork. What do they reap?





5. How crushing? How onerous?
Let's say you were set to open a business, and had put down more than $100,000 preparing.....how bad would regulations have to be for you to decide to forfeit all of that???

6. How about an example:
"NYC Restaurant Owners Walk Away from $100,000 Due to City's Stifling Regulations...
New York City restaurateur Robert Malta planned to open a new location for his wine bar Bocca di Bacco on Columbus Avenue. But, after suffering through a string of unnecessary regulations, he is walking away.

7. .... Dept. of Buildings rules required them to install sprinklers throughout the whole building, even though the café would only take up 800 square feet on the ground floor." NYC Restaurant Owners Walk Away from $100,000 Due to City's Stifling Regulations - Cortney O'Brien





8. " Mayor Bill de Blasio today approved sweeping paid sick leave legislation, extending the right to paid sick leave to half a million more New Yorkers. The law is one of the first in a slate of reforms aimed at raising the wage and benefit floor for more New Yorkers and reducing income inequality..."

9. ".... the treacherous alphabet soup of the DOB, DOH, LPC and FDNY — plus community boards that hold great sway over the State Liquor Authority’s decisions whether to grant liquor licenses..... said his company, which employes 1,200 people in New York, up from 400 in 2006, has spent “hundreds of thousands of dollars” on expediters and consultants to help his restaurants and clubs avoid problems with city agencies.



10. Walker Malloy broker Rafe Evans, who handles many Upper West Side ...calls the situation “clear and ominous proof that the increasingly business-unfriendly environment in the city is reaching a breaking point.”

How important is business?

Government doesn't' make a profit....and only has the money it takes from other citizens.

Think about it.

Then why did you immigrate to this country if you don't like it , if it weren't for our LIBERAL laws on immigration laws you wouldn't be here

No, no, no. Guno, you have to get it straight. PC was never subject to immigration laws. There are no immigration laws concerning congenital idiots.

Impenitent asks:

Is she an anchor baby like Michelle Malkin?

Of course. Question is, who is the father. Rumor has it that it may be a Koch, or possibly a Fox contributor. But we will never know. Because there is insufficient interest to cause a blood test. And anyway, stupidity is not a crime. Though in her case, maybe it is.....

THAT's the question you right wing cranks are afraid to ask, isn't it?

Anchor Baby (to Santa Baby)

Anchor Baby slip on out before the visa expires please, for me
Please be an early girl
Anchor Baby, hurry down the vagina, tonight

Anchor Baby
I've overstayed my welcome here
It's back to Manila for me, boo-hoo
Unless I can count on you to
Hurry down the vagina tonight

You'll be rich, full of self-import
Telling Mexicans to self-deport
You'll have class, of the manor born
Or you can go to Manila and pick baby corn
Boo doo bee doo

Anchor Baby, we'll have a yacht
And that's not, a lot
You can keep us here, for years
So Anchor Baby, hurry down the vagina, , tonight
