The more laws you make the more laws you need to make.

Can't you see that ?

The cost of regulation alone is near $2 trillion in 2012.
And that is without anyone doing anything to monitor or analyze or enforce.

Nearly 4000 new regulations targeted to be passed this year.

Whatever law is on the books is never enough.

What you have now are people just directly dealing with each other via cash or barter or whatever because more individuals can't afford to go into business because of the financial and legal hurdle of the regulations.

Big business advocates all these regulations because it stifles capitalism and the growth of competition.

Market regulation=/= Civil Rights Act

Furthermore, I don't see how discrimination hurts anybody or the economy for that matter.

Why do you think they keep shutting the Libertarians out...
They are two sides of the same coin. They feed off each other. What bad policy have any of those two parties gone back and fixed after one criticized it initially?? NONE.

The Civil Rights Act would still stand. Just the portion about who businesses can do business with would change.

It hurts businesses that get sued for "violation" of rights or that have to pay harsh fines for violation of the current law. It hurts the economy or rather restricts it, because somebody can't go and open a business just for Blacks, Hispanics, Jews, women, lesbians, gays...etc.

Shouldn't it be obvious when these small business close because of impending lawsuits and jail time and cease and desist orders ?

Billions aren't sucked out of the economy in one fell swoop here. It's an inching erosion that's going on.

That would be the same reason they need the government to make all these rules to live by.

I've never heard of a business closing due to discrimination lawsuits.

True that.
I'd rep you again if I could.
