[QUOTE="klein, post: 745476, member: 23950"] No, not trying to argue with you at all. Sorry, if it came across that way. Just wanted to make a point on this thread , (not towards you), why less government oversight and regulations, can go badly wrong. Look at your illegal problem for instance. Would never happen if regulations were in place, making it almost impossible for illegals to work or go to school. Gee, in Germany, (while I was still living there, in the 80's), they actually have government inspectors going to contruction sites, even farms making sure you are legally working there. That law also cracks down on "Schwarzarbeit", which means working under the table. It is strictly forbidden there, and in the 80's was a $2500 fine for the worker, 10fold that for the employer. And, I find it amazing that this under populated, country we have here up north, always needs to help out our neighbors to the south. Almost every single year, our forest fighters are called south, a lot to California. Ofcourse helped out with 9/11, Katrina, now the Gulf oil spill. Might cost us extra money, but because of government involvement, we have enough forest fighters and rescue workers, and the equipment. Don't you find it amazing, the US could probably destroy the world 10 times over, but has little in place to protect their own citizens at home, for any given disaster ? [/QUOTE]
