I am overwhelmed by the vast numbers who nastily demand that I give to help them. The rules and regulations on small business put my boss in bankruptcy. He did not have 20 employees, but 2 of them did paperwork for various government agencies. Taxes, fees, mandated insurance, inspectors who gave a better score if they received "gifts", then came the Medical care act. He said, "I can't do this." He closed the business down, sold all the assets and still was bankrupt. So I am one of the millions of unemployed. Yet everyone wants money from me. Where do I get what I have? From those still earning. As Margaret Thatcher said, "The problem with socialism is that eventually you run out of other people's money". I think we are getting there. Government employees whose job it is to make business impossible, will find there is no one to regulate but other Government employees.
I like the idea of government employees regulating other government employees. It would give them something to do, making them happier folks. As things have been, they mostly have nothing at all to do.
i was found under a rock by a wandering tribe of Albanian nuclear physicists. Used as a radioactive source for a series of illegal interstellar rocket tests during my youth i finally escaped by imitating a government bureaucrat and boring my captors into a coma. i made my fortune by suing the developer of the pet rock for copying my personality. Financially independent i settled down to a life of leisure in the American Midwest. Unfortunately i lost my wealth through a bad investment in a biotechnology company which was attempting to develop a mouse which looked like Elvis. Forced to wander the world i started taking odd jobs as a lowly computer programmer.
