Tremendo lo que cuenta VDH sobre California, no se puede creer. Básicamente lo que le espera al resto del país si Obama y los demócratas se salen con la suya:
Many of the rural trailer-house compounds I saw appear to the naked eye no different from what I have seen in the Third World. There is a Caribbean look to the junked cars, electric wires crisscrossing between various outbuildings, plastic tarps substituting for replacement shingles, lean-tos cobbled together as auxiliary housing, pit bulls unleashed, and geese, goats, and chickens roaming around the yards. The public hears about all sorts of tough California regulations that stymie business — rigid zoning laws, strict building codes, constant inspections — but apparently none of that applies out here.
It is almost as if the more California regulates, the more it does not regulate. Its public employees prefer to go after misdemeanors in the upscale areas to justify our expensive oversight industry, while ignoring the felonies in the downtrodden areas, which are becoming feral and beyond the ability of any inspector to do anything but feel irrelevant. But in the regulators’ defense, where would one get the money to redo an ad hoc trailer park with a spider web of illegal bare wires?
El tema es cómo -una vez que entraste- hacés para salir del juego del intervencionismo.

Muy difícil pero no imposible, creo yo.
ReplyDeleteImaginate una regulación que diga que para poder asistir a la escuela solo le es permitido a los que llegan en un auto rojo, modelo 2008, matrícula impar, conducido por una mujer y con las uñas pintadas de azul. ¿Qué pasaría con la tasa de analfabetismo?
ReplyDeleteCuanto más se regula la economía, con regulaciones arbitrarias y delirantes difíciles de cumplir y cuanto más se fiscaliza el cumplimiento de esas regulaciones, más pobre es la gente.
