Predicting the market is hard but predicting the regulations is harder. Someday I would like to open my morning paper and see nothing about any government on the first few pages. A dull knife is better than a sharp knife if it's held against your throat. Civilization would be destroyed if all government regulations were enforced. Some diseases are worse than others but few people approve of any disease.
Some taxes are worse than others but few libertarians approve of any tax.
People easily doubt or forget new facts but they generally remember a new way of connecting the facts they already know. Giving a politician access to your wallet is like giving a dog access to your refrigerator. We have too much government because we have too much faith in government. A sincere person with illusions is more dangerous than any liar. All wars and most famines are caused by excessive faith in government.
