At the end of the process, we will have a large number of regulations that meet the criteria for being pointless, stupid or tyrannical. Let’s just ignore them and go on about our lives as if they didn’t exist.
I propose two frameworks for implementing this strategy. The first would be a legal foundation functioning much as the Legal Services Corporation does for the poor, except that its money will come from private donors, not the government.
...
The other framework would be occupational defense funds. Let’s take advantage of professional expertise and pride of vocation to drive standards of best practice. For example, the American Dental Association could form Dental Shield, with dentists across America paying a small annual fee. The bargain: Dentists whose practices meet the ADA’s professional standards will be defended when accused of violating a regulation that the ADA has deemed to be pointless, stupid or tyrannical.
...
The regulatory empire will doubtless try to strike back, asking Congress for more money to hire more inspectors and lawyers. But it’s going to be a hard sell. The regulatory agencies are becoming as unpopular as the IRS, and members of Congress know it.
...
Federal courts are already empowered to overturn agency actions that are “arbitrary,” “capricious” or “an abuse of discretion,” but the Supreme Court has set the bar so high that the regulatory agency almost always wins if it followed bureaucratic procedure in creating the regulation.
The good news is that the Supreme Court has a history of responding to an emerging social consensus. A drumbeat of well-publicized cases in which the agencies have obviously acted arbitrarily and capriciously as those words are ordinarily used could lead the courts to adopt a more straightforward interpretation of them.

Americans aren’t even aware that the communist Obama is about to get the FCC to take over the Internet (Obama is taking over the Internet) with Soros socialist regulations

Then something else will take its place. Isn’t that what always happens?
If you read the OSHA regulations for setting a ladder against a wall, it can only be done properly if you use sine/cosine functions. Federal regulations are killing our economic system. Congress has shirked its duty by pushing regulatory changes on to the agencies themselves. Given that a person's power depends upon the size of their budget in DC, are we really surprised that they create regulations that increase the number of people "needed" by their agency?
Congress bitches about the IRS tax code and how "the rich aren't paying their fair share". Really? You idiots wrote the Code and you did it in a way that makes your life easier, not ours! Plus, only 10% of the taxpayers foot almost 70% of total taxes collected. Yeah, the rich don't pay their fair share...they pay too much. While you hear idiots from Buffet to Hollywood hacks say they don't pay enough taxes, I've yet to see one of them sit down and write a $5million check to the IRS over and above what they do pay.
This War on the Rich is just stupid. I'm not rich...I'm a retired teacher, but in all my years of working, not once did a poor person hire me. Give corporations and small businesses a tax break and watch what happens to unemployment.
I hope you are right. However Obama is taking over the Internet just in time for the 2016 election or for him to do a coup. How can we know what is even really going on with the government regulating the Internet?
--I can sure attest to this--when I worked for a certain engineering company thirty years ago, we had a study going on pertaining to nuclear waste storage---two mining engineers making together about $100,000/year (on the Dep't of Energy payroll, in effect) spent about six months re-writing a paragraph pertaining to the ultimate removal of roof support from the repository , when it was to be "reclaimed' --perhaps in 300,000 years---
The Democrat Party doesn’t need a coup.
It only needs to keep the LIVs from hearing opposing viewpoints.
OSHA is BS. Divide the length of the ladder by four and put the base of the ladder that many feet from the wall. Formula I've used for years. Never had a ladder fall.
Yes and with Obama taking over the Internet on June 12 democrats will be able to keep people from hearing opposing view points. Obama and the FCC will shut down Drudge and freerepublic. I can’t believe even on this site people don’t seem to know or care what Obama is going to do to the Internet:
“FCC Commissioner: Feds May Come for Drudge [Isaiah 29]”

Need to find a way to turn it into a civil liberties violation. Then you can fund it by having the government being responsible for the legal fees.
That’s how the ACLU does it.
Way too simple for the gov’t.
Awesome graphic! And, unfortunately, not too far outside the realm of possibility :)
