Whether or not you agree has no affect on what reality is. There are already a number of workplace and consumer rights put in place through legislation, and safety is definitely one of them. There is a consumer bill of rights that has existed since the mid 1900's. The United Nations has adopted a broad range of consumer protections and it's watchdog agency is headquartered in London. You should be grateful for these protections, because they have most certainly made your life better and safer in countless ways. |
Rights don't become rights just because some legislator says they do. Rights are a product of natural law. Rights are something that exist without government. Notice how, for example, in the First Amendment, it's worded that Congress shall not "infringe" on certain rights. It doesn't say "granted". That's because the founders acknowledged that freedom of religion, freedom of speech, etc., existed before they wrote the Amendment, and would continue to exist in absense of all Governments.
Tell me how these so called "consumer rights" could be "enforced" in the absense of Government, then you have convinced me that they are rights.
As for bolded, please don't tell me to be grateful for bullshit. They may have made my life better in some ways, but they've also made my life worse in many others.
Federal regulations have made you 75% poorer.
