So. What would these politicians.........the (bold, italic, underlined) LAWMAKERS.........do if they pared down the laws and called it a day? Why, the would have to have another job, wouldn't they?

I don't give myself a raise. If I tried to, I would be fired in a nanosecond. These "laws" that are already on the books cover everything from medical necessities to ingredients labeling. Enough!!!!!!

Our refrigerators need freedom!!! Forget the humans! It's all about refrigerator rights! {sarcasm}

It should be obvious to everyone that we have too many laws. Not to mention all the legal precedents made in interpreting our laws! Where did common sense go? Oh yes, it evaporated decades ago (centuries?).

My advice would be to only vote for politicians that repeal laws!

Well, okay, we could have one more law: No more mandates from Mr. Biden!

Most of these are laws to countermand laws put in place by the alphabet soup acronym dictators. EPA et al. What they need to do is stop letting a bunch unelected appointed assholes make laws.

Yes, I did not delve into all of the alphabet mafia's rules and regulations which are, for all intents and purposes, treated as law. I considered asking whether people knew and could decipher all the tax code on their own, or if they depend on "experts" and/or software to decipher it for them. Many of the agency rules are nonsensical and some contradict one another. It's quite the ruse played upon the American people. Yet we continue to allow it. Why? The only explanation I can find is ignorance.

Interesting that you mentioned the tax code. I'm studying a course on income tax preparation. I'm on lecture 181 out of 768 lectures. 188 hours of lectures and it skims very, very quickly over the basics of income tax. Since I can't focus my time on this, I'm figuring that it will take me a *year* to finish this course (and then of course they will change tax rules for next year).

I've spent almost fifty years doing my own taxes and I'd be inclined to say I know almost nothing about tax code yet I probably know more than 99% of all people.

Other than tax accountants, who studies this stuff? We either do our taxes very simply (and wait for the IRS to complain) or we trust software which asks us about hundreds of things that don't apply to us.

We rely on an expert and basically tell him no getting us out of any taxes if it is questionable. Nope we’ll pay to keep the Jack boot thugs from showing up at our door.

Technically I believe those agencies / departments make "rules". So yes, we need far fewer rules! (and laws)

You must follow them or you will be prosecuted, fined and potentially put out of business. They can call them rules if they like but they are laws.

Unfortunately far too true! Petty bureaucrats bossing people around.

Unfortunately Marbury v Madison is no longer applicable in this cabal system

Technically it's "applicable;" they just choose mostly to ignore it. Or to take advantage of the time it takes anything to reach SCOTUS and have a ruling issued. Instead, they'll make laws they know are unconstitutional expecting that any intended damage will be done by the time it gets prosecuted and escalates to SCOTUS.

that's what I mean in this system it's no longer practically applicable. They ignore it or take too long to acknowledge it.
