The regulatory burden exists because the free market does nothing to prevent such deeds as toxic dumping, adulteration of foodstuffs, dishonesty in disclosure of financial statements, inducing workers to do unpaid overtime off the clock, asking female employees from offering themselves as fringe benefits to male bosses... Regulation exists because human nature is flawed, and because abuses in the past have obliged government responsible to the People to control those who wield economic power.

If Humanity were invariably good then we would need no regulation -- or police, courts of law, or prisons.

Bingo. That is why I support it. I care about the planet.

You really have no idea how insane its getting here in the US and the bureaucrats get  pretty arbitrary.
I am for regulation that works. Not too much, not too little. Keep it workable and simple.

Look up Robert Higgs and his work on regime uncertainty.  It will not only help you understand the present but also why the Great Depression lasted as long as it did.
Democracy is the theory that the common people know what they want, and deserve to get it good and hard. -- H.L. Mencken

If one rejects laissez faire on account of man's fallibility and moral weakness, one must for the same reason also reject every kind of government action.   -- Ludwig von Mises
