re: Congress shall make no law...
Tom Brosz — (archived)

I'd say it's too late to close the barn door as you'd like. The separation of church and state was in the Consitution from the beginning; adding a similar amendment now regarding business would be impossible in the face of opposition from entrenched interests.

I agree completely.

But you can start moving in the opposite direction. At least start asking questions like, "is this really a Federal problem? Can it be handled at least down at the state level?" An astonishing number of things are now in the Federal jurisdiction that were never intended to be. Education is the prime example, but there are many others.

Work on regulations that protect people, not entrenched industries. Decentralize when possible. Try not to add new laws that solidify Washington's control over one's existence.

I'm not asking for miracles, but at least we can stop driving toward the cliff.

Right now, one thing we can do is try to stop creating new Federal entitlements.
