In the United States we have a lot of people in our Prison Systems, but are we creating criminals out of relatively normal good folks? It seems that we have too many rules and regulations on businesses and we make people fill out too many forms and we have too complex of a tax system and we have too many rules that no one can remember and even the police officers have to look them up.
This incessant rulemaking needs to stop and we need simplification in our society and civilization. Otherwise we are creating criminals. Why do we have so many rules you might ask?
Well one reason is that the government is paranoid and they believe that everyone is out to break the law and therefore they make more laws for those people who try to find loopholes in the current laws and if they make more laws on top of that and pretty soon the law books are so big and complex that no one even knows what they say. Everyone breaks laws every day because there are so many laws you can possibly know what they are.
Somebody needs to take a look at all the incessant laws that we've made and how we make criminals out of hard-working successful people. It is easier not to break any laws if you never do anything, but the first time you try to do something such as run a business there are so many laws you cannot possibly follow the rules or even know what they are. So, in essence we are making laws that are creating criminals and laws, which make no sense.
It is time that we downsize the rulebooks and start with a red magic marker committee, which will go and cross through the different laws, which make no sense anymore to help simplify all the rules and start over. If we don't do something of this nature in the near future we will simply stifle our economy, productivity and the efficiencies of this great nation. Please consider all this in 2006.
