Illegal Everything by John Stossel

CitizenClark:
As my old boss Lew Rockwell once wrote, "Let me state this as plainly as possible. The enemy is the state. There are other enemies too, but none so fearsome, destructive, dangerous, or culturally and economically debilitating. No matter what other proximate enemy you can name – big business, unions, victim lobbies, foreign lobbies, medical cartels, religious groups, classes, city dwellers, farmers, left-wing professors, right-wing blue-collar workers, or even bankers and arms merchants – none are as horrible as the hydra known as the leviathan state. If you understand this point – and only this point – you can understand the core of libertarian strategy."

CitizenClark, thanks for posting the Samuel passage.  That was on my mind as well.   It is interesting to note God's warning that a king would take the best ten per cent of the nations production.  Our government now takes over half in one form or another.

So...

Out of curiosity.

Why is any agency under the Executive Branch allowed to impose any regulation that also happens to carry a fine or jail time if broken ?

If it carries a fine or jail time, that means there's a punishment.

If there's punishment, that sounds like a law to me.

Who elected these agency members to write our laws ?

Oh wait, Article 1 Section 1 of the Constitution says Congress writes the laws.

So.... how are any of these Federal regulations (let alone from a different branch of the gov't) legal / Constitutional ?

Don't you just wish they only took 10%!!!!!!!

They did not stop at 10%.....

Because no one stopped them.

Why is The Won requiring Catholic Hospitals to provide birth control to their employees, in direct violation of the tenets and teachings of the Catholic Church? 

Because no one is stopping him.

Why are you now required to buy a product you do not want (Health Insurance-Obamacare) on the .gov's sayso? 

Because no-one stopped them.

Why can you be arrested and jailed for YEARS for selling unpastuerized milk or uninspected sea-food or driving a gypsy cab?

BECAUSE NO ONE STOPPED THEM.

They will not stop of their own volition: they are on a mission (from Gaia?) and think they are helping you: there are none so dangerous to Liberty as those who are convinced theyare Righteous and have the Best of Intentions, when they are leading masses of well funded soulless beaureaucrats, who know no other way to survive than to continually create and enforce new regulations ....... it can not continue, for at some point there will be nothing left to regulate.

What can not continue, will not .....

.... and then what will these legions of worthless functionaries and and their broken "service economy" do then?
