There’s a form of Vice, of lazy thinking which is mainly of the Left, not exclusively of course. It is to make a Law and then setback and think it is reality.
Need more money? Raise Taxes. Of course that’ll do it none of the Tax Payers will object, give up, quit, curtail more marginal activities, shift offshore, lie, cheat! No of course not just because the government is trying to take HALF their income. NOT.
Too many Innocent People getting shot? Make a Law. No guns for criminals. Yah! That’ll work. No mater that literally 10’s of thousands of good people must suffer for every criminal who will be prevented from walking into a store and buying a gun. Never mind that the Bad Guys will pretty much get all the guns they want any how. “We made a law.”
Global Warming? Out law it.
Homelessness? Give them all apartments. This may not be a good time to explain Scarce Resources.
Hell, in Ca they tried to make a Law requiring all dogs to be sterilized! Give me a brake. Skipping Property Rights for the moment, why waste money on the males?
Law is not Reality.
