Steve Simpson from IJ reminded me of this passage from the Declaration of Independence: “He has erected a multitude of New Offices, and sent hither swarms of Officers to harrass our people, and eat out their substance.”
Sounds like the modern regulatory state.

Bloomberg is moving on to a new issue. Since obesity, poor grades, dropping out of school, traffic accidents, and a variety of other ills are due to lack of sleep, NYC is now imposing mandatory bed times.

Capitalism without guilt

      What: A luncheon talk for young professionals, featuring Dr. Yaron Brook.

      When: Friday, June 21 / 12:00pm – 1:30pm

      Where: Microsoft Government Affairs building
      901 K St NW, Washington, D.C.

      In the wake of bailouts, stimulus packages, regulatory expansion and the looming onset of ObamaCare, many Americans are alarmed by the rapid growth of the state. But previous rebellions against Big Government, such as the “swing to the right” of the 1980s, failed to substantially roll back government intervention in the economy. Will today’s revolt be different? In this talk, Dr. Brook, executive director of the Ayn Rand Institute, will offer his assessment, based on a revolutionary view of why government intervention grows—and what must be done in order to stop it. His provocative conclusion: to successfully stop the growth of the state, Americans will have to discover that laissez-faire capitalism is the only moral system—one that must be defended without guilt.
