1. Tort reform
2. Fire the EPA, all of it. Start over.
3. Fire OSHA, all of it. Start over.
4. Prevent the IRS from blackmailing small businesses by tying up their checkbooks and then forcing them sign contracts over issues where the small company is clearly in the right.
5. Stop paying unemployment. I already know, and know of, people who are turning down jobs because it would require them to move. They can only do that if they’re getting unemployment.
6. Do away with the minimum wage. It takes people’s ability to negotiate and form a contract.

6. takes away for the ability of young people without skills to get an entry job where they can learn the skills they need to prosper. You have to start somewhere. Democrats keep raising the barrier to get through the door through minimum wage, health care and taxes. And then wonder why there are no jobs... Particularly for young people...

The biggest obstacle to increasing employment is the legal maze that has been erected in the name of protecting employees. I remember when hiring was done by managers without it being filtered by the “professional” HR departments. The existence of the HR departments are to CYA for employers because of the potential for lawsuits.

There is an old Chinese proverb that states: Today’s problems were often yesterday’s solutions. Much of the well intended legal protections end up accomplishing the exact opposite of what they were intended to do. (example: age descrimination legislation)
