If you have ten thousand regulations you destroy all respect for the law.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
It certainly makes no sense to enact more laws if we cannot, or do not, enforce the ones we have.
A law is a law, and it has to be respected.
The worst evil of disregard for some law is that it destroys respect for all law.
But let me tell you what happens when regulations go too far, when they seem to exist only for the purpose of justifying the existence of a regulator. It kills the people trying to start a business.
If there's a regulation that's saving 10,000 lives and costing one job, it's worth it.
If we desire respect for the law, we must first make the law respectable.
You could have 50 different states having 50 different regulations... until they were all litigated out.
The regulations keep on coming. And we are trying to make decisions that we will be happy with for decades.
All the time, you take a look at what government rules are, so you can minimize the impact of government regulations. That's just smart business.
We will absolutely respect the law until we are in government at the national level and can change it.
