Government

[gipper]

To some, it is good and effective. How can they believe this, when the truth about it is obvious.

Here is just one little tidbit about the tyranny of government. More to follow.


You’re Likely Committing a Crime Right Now
Do you own a dog? You could face six months in federal prison If you walk it on federal lands on a leash longer than six feet in length.

Do you have a bank account? If you deposit or withdraw more than $10,000 in cash over multiple transactions, you could be imprisoned for up to five years. You could also lose every penny in the account, under the theory it “facilitated” your crime.

Do you have foreign investments? If you neglect to tell Uncle Sam about them, you could face draconian penalties. Forget to file just one form? You could face a $10,000 penalty per account per year.

There’s no requirement that you know any of these crimes exist for you to be found guilty of violating them. After all, “Ignorance of the law is no excuse.”

Given that fact, you might think that Uncle Sam would make it easy to understand exactly what’s legal and what’s not. Think again.

In 1790, the first set of federal criminal laws contained a grand total of 20 crimes. Since then, the number of federal crimes listed has grown like cancer. No one knows how many federal crimes exist, although a 1998 study from the American Bar Association concluded the total was likely “much higher” than 3,000.

It’s no wonder the US has the world’s largest prison population. More people rot in local, county, state, and federal prisons in the US than in all other developed countries combined. Over 2.2 million Americans currently live in some type of jail.

Given these facts, you could be forgiven for thinking that Congress might put the brakes on penning new federal criminal law. Unfortunately, that’s not happening. Indeed, the pace of federal “criminalization” is accelerating. A 2008 study concluded that since the start of 2000, Congress created at least 452 new crimes. That’s more than one a week.

The govt. also owns all curbs, banks of river and air you ex-hail, and that stream of urine you no longer want...I've not read any cases where they want your turds from whey...But the legal precedent for the breathalyzer and urinalysis is that you have expelled these gasses and liquids from your body and no longer want them...

Your liberal fascism is troubling.....

 

[ScienceRocks]

I'd rather have government then no govenrment like Somalia or some other shit hole.

I enjoy our roads
I enjoy clean air, water and food regulations
I enjoy the police and the protection and stability they offer
I enjoy the business protections and consumer protections that are in place.

To act like government is evil and wrong is without a clue on what you're talking about.

Most of the world would kill for what we Americans enjoy and take for granted.

To think .gov benefits any of those things you have no clue what your talking about....

What about government regulations? Many statist dupes think them good, but as usual they are uninformed...see the posts above from the biggest dupes on this forum, for example.

Land of the Free? Not Economically
Regulations. Government regulations, whether passed with good intentions (worker safety, environmental protection) or not (corporate protections, Congressional pork), have come at immense costs, most of them hidden. Costs to the manufacturer or producer, costs to the consumer, costs to the state, county, city, school district, and neighborhood for compliance, and costs to Washington for the time and (often considerable) personnel it takes to enforce them, probably the largest number of the 2.6 million people in the executive branch.

And these regulations involve every aspect, including the most intimate, of the average American’s life: toilets, mattresses, food, lightbulbs, showerheads, clothes, diapers, washing machines and dryers, refrigerators, bicycles, television sets, and of course cars. There is no official tabulation of these costs—the government would prefer to keep them hidden and uncalculated—but a respected economist at the Competitive Enterprise Institute, Wayne Crews, estimated in 2015 that government regulations would cost the economy $1.882 trillion in that year in lost productivity and higher prices, a figure that is greater than the GDP of all but eleven countries in the world.

The Code of Federal Regulations, an immense library of all the regulations ever passed, was 175,268 small-type pages in 2014 (117 times bigger than the Bible) and Obama’s administration has added about 3,500 a year, so we’re now over 180,000. For every law that’s passed by Congress, the Executive promulgates about 16 new regulations—in 2014 it was 3,554 new regulations compared to 224 new laws.

The biggest polluter in the world, is the US government. But try telling that to a dupe like Mattieboy...and watch his little head explode. The truth for some is just to hard to accept.

The dirtiest sites in America are US government properties. Research DOD and DOE locations for just five minutes...but this is ignored by statist dupes.
