More Regulations Laws Breed Less Economic Growth
A contender for Congress believes the G20 is misguided.

Jeff Scherschel is seeking the Libertarian Nomination to run for the Congressional 4th District.

While leaving my day job for my part-time job yesterday, I was listening to the local public access radio station. They were interviewing demonstrators at the G-20 summit in PA. The demonstrators were calling for massive reforms to our economic model that would guarantee basic necessities for all people world wide. As a former left-winger myself I heard the words and understood very well where they were coming from.

Most people don't understand that we have the power to have our needs met, to help others, and to make the world a better place by making America a better place. Here are my answers to the demonstrator's cries against poverty:

In America, government regulation adds $5000 per year to the cost of living for every man, woman and child. This is a massive burden for all Americans, and is especially hard for the working poor. Imagine a single mom with one child making $15,000 per year, minimum wage at 40 hours per week, and $10,000 of what she earns goes to the federal regulation of our economy.
