Do you even know anything about the agencies?
Let us take a look at OSHA. How does OSHA receive funding? They get funding strictly by fines they impose on business.
Being in construction I have had about 10 OSHA site inspections. For your information, I have a mantra that my people and subcontractors are made to
learn while working for me. There are three things to know, Safety, Safety, Safety. There are more people out there like me than there are of the
other sort. Yes, there are the other asshats out there that circumnavigate the safety of their workers. Who are these you might ask, well let us look
at the one in the news now.
British Pacific. Have you seen the interview where BP forced their view on the gasket material found and made their subcontractor continue? Where the
foreman for BP told the Transocean foreman that he was the boss.
Enforcement of regulations in some acedemic discussion always works. But in the real world it never does.
Here is the SOLUTION. Jail people that negligently cause harm. Seize the assets of companies that cause harm.
After a FAIR TRIAL.
I would like for you to understand one thing and one thing only. Libertarians are not just about the freedom to do anything they want. They are about
the TRUE RULE OF LAW.
Not some bull# where the government has all the solutions, especially when they have their partners in crime(BP) and other mega corps screwing over
the citizens.
Let us just take a frelling look at the partners in crime to the government shall we.
Banks.
Auto Companies now.
Oil Companies.
Mega Ag like Monsanto.
etc etc etc.
Why in the hell do people not understand this. You do not need 600,000+ statutes to penalize people and companies that do harm.
You need 600,000+ statutes to be able to have the lawyers remove responsibility from your partners in crime, in your courtrooms.
See how that works? The government is the control mechanism used by the very companies and corporations that you love to demonize.
If I was the president, I would have a prosecutor up and running collecting evidence of the criminal behavior of BP, GS, and the other companies and
banks that have brought us to this point. I would at the same time be setting up a congressional panel to begin a listing of all people and other
entities harmed.
Sorry to tell you this, but LAW and FREEDOM is all about Libertarianism.
So, if you want the status quo of today, keep backing the two party paradigm.
For those of us not brainwashed, we will continue on bringing down the tyrants the best we can. It is just hard with the ignorant that keep getting in
the way.
One last thing, how do you separate or defend your party and your president's complicit behavior with the mega corps?
