Leftists typically push for unwieldy laws and big, complicated, burocracies and government; then they spend countless effort getting around these laws. They seem to feel that enacting a law to solve a problem actually solves the problem; thinking beyond this is of no concern to them.
The unwieldy tax system is an excellent example. I don't know how many Leftists have explained to me how they get around the tax laws. One woman, who works for the Democrat Party, explained countless times that she has a "creative accountant" and that I should employ him. I didn't follow her advice about this any more than I would about anything else.
Ever been to Stinson Beach? Notice how many "No Dogs Allowed" signs are posted. I've never seen so many dogs on a beach.
If everyone in California spent as much time in productive work that they spend trying to get around the state's cumbersome laws, the state could be operating in the black, and they could afford to construct some good new roads, including much needed east-west arteries.
The Left loves complicated laws--the more and the more cumbersome, the better, because it makes graft and corruption easy.
The increase in tax revenues resulting from Bush's tax cut and pressure from the growing economies of India and China strengthen Forbes' argument; however, the Left remains the big problem and obstruction. Let's hope the American people see the wisdom of Forbes' advice and the foolishness of allowing the Left to weaken the economy any more than it already has.

Regulations are a tax on our time, money and CREATIVITY
