Illustrating his ideas with countless references to Founding Fathers and thinkers of their era to more contemporary economists, he begins by proving how equal justice by virtue of understandable common law for every citizen is lost when the the 2004 Federal Register totals about 75,676 pages! Even worse, non elected bureaucrats write and enforce regulations, their manual's (I use the term lightly) 147,639 pages measures to "more than twenty feet of shelf space." These are laws and regulations which hold us criminally responsible, even if there was no intent for malfeasance; the regulations add cost to business, and by virtue of obedience (for fear of penalty) divert money from growth or employee compensation.
The second sections detail the "small" business owner. Readers familiar with Walter E. Williams will be familiar with the chapter on cabbies and hairbraiders who - working class people - are or nearly are kept out of the entrepreneur class by way of government regulations and unnecessary licensing. Mr. Miller elaborates on how government red tape works to inflate housing costs and drives residents from California and other high tax states.
He writes in an enjoyable fashion, keeps the potentially dry information lighthearted and backs up his views with figures where necessary and quotes from myriad of sources. Mr. Miller deftly destroys Professor Barry Schwartz's notion that we are offered too many choices and are harmed by this mental torment. When Prof. Schwartz wrote in his book that he simply wished the Gap only sold one style of jeans, "the kind that used to be the only kind", Mr. Miller retorts "[m]ore choice doesn't mean less satisfaction. Rather more choice means less satisfaction for Schwartz." This ties in with Prof. Schwartz's op-ed piece against then-President Bush's idea to semi-privatize Social Security. Mr. Schwartz suggested options of alternative savings plans would overwhelm American's and make us unhappy. What it did was take away a choice, leaving a wide sector of citizens one choice... involuntarily contribute via payroll taxes to Social Security or live under minimum security.
This is a book of limited government, removing lobbyists and reducing obscure and unfathomable law (both of which are used to benefit one group over another, thereby removing the equal protection notion of American jurisprudence) in an attempt to instill untethered personally directed pursuit of happiness as the Founders intended.… (altro)
