Filtherton, I’m a little clearer on what your point is. Its why I asked if you were talking about the present system getting worse, or displeased with the present system, or both. Regulation is necessary for quality control measures. Would privatizing many of the federal services be bad? It remains only speculative, but I have a general distrust these days as its hard for me to see any that are untainted by corruption. I see private enterprises falling if the services being provided were not to the level of their competitors. An example would be a private company that did residential inspections during rental transitions.
If a person is seeking to rent a residential property why is it unreasonable to request records of inspection? Talk to other tenants of the landlord? Make modifications that are fair and create a win/win atmosphere BEFORE initiating a legal contract? If the potential landlord is against these types of actions, then the person has the freedom to find one who will. At what point in any avenue of person’s economic behavior do you feel there is accountability on the part of the consumer?
At the end I still see it (with respects to a free enterprise) it comes down to personal responsibility. Again I’m not referring to developmentally disabled, mentally ill, or permanently injured- legal citizens. The link you provided shows a true dirt bag in its purest form that has and continues to slither through the system. The flip side of the story will probably elude many reading it. Doesn’t it make you wonder why it took an outside entity to organize and motivate the individuals (I can’t call them victims)?
I think Wal-Mart has shady business practices. It is a good example of a business plan, ethics aside that is successful. I utilize my right of purchasing freedom to never shop there.

You think constitutional laws are regressive?
