It seems that some people just can't stand the EPA telling billionaires to stop putting their barrels of toxic waste in trees near children's playgrounds. They just don't care about the squirrel/frogs it creates that shoot off acorns with their laser eyes. And while that incident was solved by building an ill advised monorail numerous other billionaires still suffer! So much so that Charles Murray, who wrote The Bell Curve, has devised a strategy to end government regulation. Sue it into obsolesce.
Yes, he has created a plan called the Madison Fund. This fund would then subsidize the legal costs for untold numbers of Americans to launch lawsuit after lawsuit at the EPA, FDA, OSHA, EEOC, USDA, ATF, etc until they can no longer function and would have to fold up and stop.....er EPAing. “Even the largest government agency cannot afford to carry a large number of small legal cases that are strung out for as long as the law permits. Goliath cannot win against hundreds of Davids.”
So, who will pitch in to try and stop the EPA from keeping Americans from attaining prosperity? Why billionaires of course.
That's right. This act of civil disobedience to try and make it so people can finally make money in America will be subsidized by billionaires who presumably made all their money in freetopia libertarian paradises like Sweden and Germany. Certainly not in America, land of the oppressive EPA, FDA and USDA.
Oh, and there is more. He also sees as a side project the creation of “occupational defense funds” where trade groups would pool resources to serve as insurance against regulators. In the event of a federal inspection of a business establishment, such funds could cover the fines when they are found to not be meeting codes.
If this sounds like an end run around democracy, well it is. But that is okay because, says Murray, business will just police its own. Because that always worked in the past!

Who pays for all this? Pointing to the emergence of “many billion-dollar-plus private fortunes over the last three decades,” Murray suggests that the Madison Fund could get started “if just one wealthy American cared enough to contribute, say, a few hundred million dollars,” or if “a dozen wealthy Americans cared enough to share the initial costs among themselves.” |
