Well, it is certainly a timely reminder that we need to reform and simplify our laws.
The tax code is the one most often talked about. Eliminate a few thousand pages of exceptions, to start with, and balance them with equivalent across-the-board tax cuts so that taxes don’t go up as a result.
The EPA is another obvious place to look. And the financial regulations, which seem mainly designed to crush competition while helping the big boys to cheat.
Affirmative action is another obvious place to start. All men (women, and children) are created EQUAL.
But I suspect we also need to finally put the screws to the tort lawyers. Some sort of lid needs to be put on liability lawsuits, if we are ever to get back to a simpler, more open kind of life.
Then it would be nice if we could throw out all the crooked, activist judges.
Utopia, anyone? Well, at least let’s make a start.
