Money spent in complying with a regulation cannot be spent again on marketing or product research.

With its brutal excesses and reliance on snitches and finks as informants, I don't think it's far off-kilter to describe the modern-day drug war as oddly similar to the Salem witch trials.

Political changes and reforms do not usually favor the general populace. They benefit those who are positioned to best organize and advocate for their policies.

Advocacy groups, politicians, and bureaucrats use the government to advance their private good instead of the common good.

Laws do not curb the lawless. After all, that's why we call them 'lawless.'

The government doesn't create wealth of its own; it can only take it from some and distribute it to others or dictate particular public uses of private resources.

There's never going to be a time where the Republican Party rallies around and says you have to get out or anyone has to get out for purposes of rallying around Donald Trump.
