(21,751 posts)Our country was basically born without regulations. Nowhere in the Constitution does it say what we "cannot" do..
Then, as businesses became corrupt and were stealing from people, we instituted regulations to perotect citizens in the form of regulations. This was made a necessity by the unmitigated assault on the citizenry.
Eliminating them in this day and age is just painting a target on people's backs for the benefit of the rich and piwerful.
