If there's a regulation that's saving 10,000 lives and costing one job, it's worth it.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Regulation creates a moral hazard.
If I'm going to create 1,000 jobs, or 10,000 jobs, or whatever the number is, wouldn't we all be better off?
If there are healthy - and growing - numbers of people working and paying taxes, we are better able to pay the costs of people living longer.
Higher taxes kill jobs. Regulations kill jobs.
Regulation is necessary to protect our natural environment, keep our food and medicine safe, and ensure fair competition and fair treatment of our workers.
Is regulation per se bad? Is better regulation bad? I think better regulation is good for the business community, and I think that's something we should get together on.
Well-spent aid money is saving lives for a few thousand dollars per life saved.
Federal regulations should promote safety without unnecessarily burdening small firms and costing much-needed jobs.
If you have ten thousand regulations you destroy all respect for the law.
If I can save one kid's life, for me, it's absolutely worth it.
