@Doughfoot – Quite often, when I hear a liberal complain that the Republicans want a country of every man for himself; I can show you a person who sees life as unfair and wants a government that robs his neighbor to pay for something he or she wants.
Many of the regulations that the conservatives would eliminate are the ones put in place by Liberals to make the Industrious responsible for the care and feeding of the indolent.
The Frank Dodd act comes to mind. It was supposed to make us Safe from Big banks that would destroy the economy but what it really did was create an enormous bureaucracy and cost corporations (all corporations) BILLIONS of private dollars to comply. If we really were afraid of big banks we could have limited the holdings of each bank and been done with the problem.
I’m all for Laws and Regulations that keep property rights strong. I’m not so supportive of laws and regulations that slow down economic activity because the lazy and the stupid can’t keep up.
