Topic: Why ALL Regulations should be OUTLAWED (Read 220 times)

It's not the regulations. It's the ignorance of the people.

Who cares what the regulations and the structure of Government are. Informed people don't care. Why not? Because they can do anything that they want as long as they do no harm to other people, nor damage the property of other people.

Suppose that someone disobeys a regulation. Then government comes after him. There is a jury trial. If the person is smart enough to be able to wake the jury up to jury nullification and freedom, the regulation goes down the tubes and has no effect. Why doesn't it have any effect? Because the jury is over and above regulations.

For example. Some guy smokes a joint in his house. SWAT breaks in and catches him. There is a jury trial. It's up to the jury. The jury doesn't have to follow the judge's (magistrate's) orders regarding their decision. They can set the guy free, and make government pay the guy for time lost. It simply depends on how informed the jury is.

If the judge takes the jury to trial for not following his orders, the jury can do the same to the judge for not following their orders. Another jury trial.

Now and a gain, and informed jury sets a pot-smoker free from punishment by government. All the juries could do this. Most of them are simply ignorant of this fact.

Regulations within the USA are responsible for a systematic degradation of America as a country, mainly from an economic perspective but also from others.

Understand that America's overall government structure contains three distinct branches, each with equal authority - legislative (congress/senate), judicial (federal courts/ supreme court), and executive (president and presidential cabinet).

The US Constitution states what powers each of the three branches of government have, and that's a hard limit. One branch cannot take on the power of another branch...but the vile and corrupt politicians have found an exploit that they've been relying on for decades to circumvent the constitutional delegation of governing authority - regulatory agencies.

Normally when the federal government wants to pass a new law, it must go through a legislative process initiated in congress, voted on in the senate and then signed into effect by the president. The legislative process ensures that all citizens who are represented within the government have a chance to weigh in on any new law that will have a national scope, but due to the nature of partisan politics, passing laws is not nearly as simple as the 3-step overview makes it seem.

Congress circumvents the legislative process by delegating some of its powers to regulatory agencies. These government agencies are autonomous, not part of any of the 3 branches, and have the power to not only create regulations that have the force of law, but also the authority to enforce the regulations they create.

This is a HUGE conflict of interest, as now the agency can invent a regulation AND enforce it. Congress can exert some influence by tweaking the amount of money they are budgeted, but often times these regulatory agencies get to act with impunity.

Regulations are often "bought" by big companies or wealthy individuals that lobby for a certain regulation to be passed. The reason they do this is to lock out competitors or to make it expensive for smaller startups to compete. This is a form of cronyism, and it is highly toxic to a country's economy. A big, bloated government bureaucracy is what enables cronyism, and as more regulatory agencies pop-up the quid pro quo continues.

Regulations and the anonymous, unelected employees of said agencies are wielding a power they have no right to...and likely in EU countries a similar problem exists. Laws that make sense and are necessary can and should be passed properly through the legislative process - ALL regulations are unconstitutional, and ALL regulations should be outlawed. Doing this will allow individual prosperity to return.
