Description

The largest and most rapid increase in government power over the private sector is not in the areas of taxation or government spending. Rather, it is the expansion of government regulation that impacts the everyday consumer, motorist, homeowner, worker, investor, taxpayer, and nation as a whole in distinct ways. It concludes by suggesting several initial reforms.
