"Of course, one regulation I'd like to see would deny the option of masking one's phone number from Caller ID to anyone but a private residence. All corporate phone numbers would have to be seen via Caller ID."

Implementation of "regulation(s)" takes money from those who are regulated.

Justice Stevens, in a concurring opinion, Nixon v Shrink, 2000, states,

"...I make one simple point. Money is property;"

Regulations are inacted and implemented for the public use.

Amendment V

"...nor shall private property be taken for public use without just compensation."

Such a regulation you propose would be unconstitutional unless a corresponding tax was imposed to collect the appropriate amount of revenue needed to compensate the private property owners for the taking of their property for public use.

Implementation of "regulation(s)" takes money from those who are regulated.

Not always. Sometimes it prevents them from taking money from someone else. My phone is my property. I bought it. I pay for it's maintenance and use. When a telemarketer calls me, they are using my property without my permission. The fact that I have money doesn't mean that if someone else thinks of a way to take it without my permission, they are being deprived of their money.

"...nor shall private property be taken for public use without just compensation."

This is private money being taken for private use, not public use. This regulation doesn't take money from telemarketers and give it to the government. It keeps my money in my pocket; it's private money.
