NO MORE LAWS!!! Laws Create Lawbreakers

Washington thinks its job is to pass laws.  NOT!!!

It's job should be to SIMPLIFY our laws and improve efficiency in everything they get involved in.

Every day, it seems there's a hundred new laws passed that cannot be enforced due to the massive oversight needed to enforce them.

The complexity caused by this process increases exponentially and us poor citizens have to obey every one of them  "or else".

Each new tax, each new reporting requirement, each new law has threats with it to anyone who doesn't comply.  Do we pay taxes to get threatened?

I want our government to ONLY PASS LAWS THAT THEY CAN UNIFORMLY AND COMPLETELY ENFORCE.  If the government cannot afford to enforce all the laws they pass, the ones we cannot afford to enforce uniformly and completely should not be on the books.

I'd like to see Washington, and our states  revamp our legal system so that the laws on the books are all enforced uniformly to everyone, and any law that cannot be enforced in such a way be taken down.

This would mean, Washington needs to reduce the complexities they introduce with each law and concentrate on the most important laws that will best provide the rights and freedoms of us citizens.

Three laws should cover it.....

1) Jail to anyone who lies, cheats, steals, hurts, or murders anyone.

2) Citizens have a right to protect themselves from harm (guns included) and to report liars, cheaters, and crooks.

3) Taxes ONLY for National Defense and enforcement of laws 1 and 2.

These three should cost us no more than 1/20th of our GDP...

Government employees will cringe at this thought..  "What about MY JOB!".  If laws are simplified, I'll lose my job!

My comeback:  "Then get another, productive job."

If we hired people with expectations reduced, there would be no assumption that a job will last forever and do two things:

1) Keep employees on their toes. ("Why work hard if I don't have to, my job is secure, they can't fire me."  I saw this working in a union shop.)

2) Draw those individuals who understand the expectations and adjust accordingly.  (i.e. understanding that a job isn't permanent means there will be no surprises or disappointments if it ends.  Much like a Day Job.  You don't see those working day jobs whining and complaining that the job only lasted a day.  That was expected.)

Stupid spew, I know, but we've got to get off this lawmaking bandwagon and simplify them to where us citizens and job creators can breath!!   GEESH!!!
