Catch 22
Our country’s legal system is broken. We have way too many laws and way too many lawyers. The nanny-state mentality is out of hand. We all violate laws everyday and don’t know it until we get busted.
The Catch 22 part of the scenario is that laws are made by politicians, most politicians are lawyers. It is a self serving system to provide jobs for lawyers. The more laws we have the greater need for lawyers. Politicians are lawyers so making laws becomes a jobs program.
The size of the government is directly proportional to the number of laws that are on the books. Therefore not only do we provide a jobs program for lawyers, we also provide a jobs program for bureaucrats.
What is the solution? The only plausible solution is to pass a “Law limitation” amendment to the federal and every state constitution. This simple amendment would say that ;”The maximum number of laws allowed is XXXXXXXXX.” This would force the repeal of many antiquated and frivolous laws. But the great thing about this amendment is that it would limit the size of government.
Find a politician that will support this amendment and you have found a winner!
