Did you ever wonder just how many Federal, State, County, City, Village and Association rules, ordinances, regulations, statutes, executive orders and edicts are on the official books? Just how many laws and court orders are we subject to, living here in the land of the free? The best guess is somewhere over 2 million. 2 million laws; that’s a pretty big book. Throw in the progressively mounting taxes at all levels of government, and we are up against a huge up hill.

I have said, on many occasions, that the ever increasing number of laws and official, enforceable policies are designed not only to legislate us into submission, but to keep those in power employed. If your list of laws grows that quickly, you gotta ask yourself “what comes first, the law or a politician? If we had fewer laws, would we need an ever increasing bureaucracy to enact, impose and enforce them?

Do you ever get the feeling the political class and the war-chests that support and fund them, are simply waiting for us to tap out? Just like a fighter in a mixed martial arts match that can’t take it anymore when he slaps his hand to the mat? Really, it’s beginning to look like a MMA version of a Constitutional cage fight. Through exhaustion, apathy or downright submission maybe, they hope, we will figure it’s just too much to fight city hall and surrender, waving the white flag and packing it in.

When it comes to regulators and politicians, you give them an inch and they take a 2X4 to you!

Tapping out?

It’s up to you.
