As Bob Crane said there are way too many fee's so that they may lower taxes!

Are you going to tell us?  I say probably 20%.

I remember when I was in manufacturing - the govt would send over specs for a project on a metal piece that were 50 pages long.

Probably 10-15% is from overregulation.

How about home price freeze for change?

Too many - we have to stop regulating everything we do - can't elected officials find some other way of qualifying their existence then by regulating us to the poor house?
