American Government
Where does our government need to be more and less involved? First i tried to think of the boundaries. It seems that is not a very easy think to do because it would seem that federal law seems to effect anything and everything to an extent. Every time there is a case that seems to find a loop hole they create a new law so it wont happen again.
I think the government needs to first work on immigration and securing boarders. That is one of the main jobs of the government is to watch the boarders yet that seems to be lacking to a great extent. In both people and goods that cross over, imports are under cutting many American businesses. I really wouldn't mind if a few of the cops that like to pull people over for going 5 over the speed limit went and used that kind of work ethic to escort people to sign up for taxes if they wanna be here so bad.
The second point they could get more involved in is making the court rooms less of a joke. People are filing suits over two hundred dollars or less because the loaned it to a friend and now they don't like that friend. Even if people sign a waver saying that they wont sue if they get injured all it means is they get less money because "you cant sign your rights away," people know why that's a law and that its not meant to be used that way but no one seems to do anything. I'm not saying that people shouldn't be able to sure unless it is considered "worthy" but more that they use common sense and not let the laws be twisted and manipulated.
Where do I think the government needs to get less involved, well there are a bunch of things but one of the main ones would be safety. When on mines collapses a hundred new laws com with it, they usually don't stop another mines from collapsing either, all they do is close a bunch of mines and cause inflation. When i was working a mining plant even though I was in the lab every day I had to stop everything I'm doing to make sure I eat exactly between my 6th and 8th hour, if I finish eating I cant get back to work until its been exactly 30 min. Its a joke that they feel they have to hold every ones hands all the time and are just impeding on progress.
They need to stop states from making laws that make so little sense they are at the base unconstitutional. There were a few recent suits made by people at their houses that said the concrete was defective. Technically this was the fault of the contractor but in order to make more money they sued the cement plant, how is the plant supposed to know where and how the cement is going to be used. The cement plant began to win some of the cases where there was no proof that there were any defects so California legislature made a new law that you did not need proof to sue the company. Are they trying to kill our economy, do they seriously not realize how hard they are making it to run a business. They made a law that a company had to make sure there is no sexual harassment taking place, as a result the companies fired people who were sexually harassing other people. Then a new law was made that was twisted in to, if you are fired fro sexual harassment you can sue the company for wrongful termination.
In the end I find very few things I think the government should get more involved in except for the basics that they seem to do very poorly. As fro what they could do less stop treating every one like children because that what their turning in to. Social Security is flawed, the idea that they can fix all the problems by making more and more laws is unintelligent, and the ability to remain oblivious to the twisting of the constitution is un-nerving. Then again it is partially our fault people don't seem to understand that "fix" is code word for "more complex laws."
