The Never Ending Law Machine

In a recent article, John Stossel, host of Fox Business Network's Stossel, comments on the government's compulsion to regulate every meager aspect of our lives through an uncountable number of rules and laws, most of which we don't even know about.

Something's happened to America, and it isn't good. It's become easier to get into trouble. We've become a nation of a million rules. Not the kind of bottom-up rules that people generate through voluntary associations. Those are fine. I mean imposed, top-down rules formed in the brains of meddling bureaucrats who think they know better than we how to manage our lives.

Check of the rest of his article here.

Would a libertarian system create fewer laws? Would they be smarter, fairer laws?

Maybe next time you should take a look at the background checks of the people you vote. That would surely change the way people vote.  If you are not responsible about the way ypu vote, well, you can't complain about 1 million rules.
