We would have a Tyrannical Government Regime and would all be living in an oppressive Communist Country. Same story that happens to ALL countries that "redistribute" wealth. I put "redistribute" in quotes because all that wealth would go to the Government and nobody else.

No doubt but that does not mean they should be able to do whatever they want.

That depends.....don't forget businesses are customers too.

I would bet I buy more in a month than you do in a year..(my pipe bill this month is $24,000).

Some regulations are written by two or, three different agencies....almost the same...but not totally.

Some are good....some just silly....and some harmful...so a generation is impossible.

There does need to be some regulations to protect consumers.....I would never dream of saying some are not needed.

Don't bet, it's bad habit and can cost you money, I just spent gazzilion on software licenses and this is not the end of this month expenses.
Anyways, some conservatives here advocated less regulations and it always made me laugh as the don't realize why do we have these regulations in the first place. Law unfortunately is always behind life.
