OK. Which Gummint tax/reg programs are YOU going to eliminate? OSHA? EEOC? FLSA? Income tax?

Even if you assume, for the sake of the argument, that 50% of these programs are poppycock, that only reduces "gummint overhead" to about 25% of GDP.

And the likelihood of modifying/eliminating these programs? You'd do better in Vegas. MUCH better.

Yep.

EEOC?

Yep.

FLSA?

Yep.

Income tax?

Most definitely.

Even if you assume, for the sake of the argument, that 50% of these programs are poppycock, that only reduces "gummint overhead" to about 25% of GDP.

Great! Then it would be time to go after the remaining "poppycock" nonsensical regs and taxes.

And the likelihood of modifying/eliminating these programs? You'd do better in Vegas. MUCH better.

Really? Then I'd wager the same odds for protectionists. If you can't compete dollar for dollar, you lose. Like my late uncle used to say, "Don't make me choose between you and my money cause you will lose every time."

Show 'em my motto!
