We know government regulations are bad; we’re constantly being told that, anyway.
Here are a few benefits of free enterprise that were taken from us by bothersome government regulations:
- Rotting, contaminated meat
- Automobiles without seat belts
- Marketing cigarettes to kids
- Handling with unwashed hands food sold to you
- Air full of mercury-and arsenic
We take these things for granted; maybe we’ve forgotten how prevalent they were before government regulations got rid of them.
