Issue Position: Regulation

Issue Position

I think we can all agree that some regulation is necessary. No one wants to be taken advantage of financially or have our environment damaged through unrestricted pollution.

However, too much regulation from runaway bureaucracies is damaging to our economy, job creation and the ability to innovate. It becomes a kind of web that stops people from creating solutions because they have been conditioned to fear what government might do to them. Over regulation leads to stagnation and is harmful to innovation. Regulation creates barriers for entrepreneurs who may be able bring a new product to market, create jobs or lower the cost of some existing good or service. These things are good for all involved.
