Let’s hear your top picks, anything goes 👇

Good question.

High up on the list would be the Controlled Substances Act, or just drug prohibition laws more generally.

Most zoning ordinances would be awesome to remove.

To give a +1 to @BlokchainB, the PARTRIOT Act and the Bank Secrecy Act would be fantastic to remove.

Almost all subsidies need to go.

If the US could support it I would love to end forced taxation and move to more of a voluntaryist framework for funding.

The Jones Act doesn't have massive effects, but peeves me badly, so that would be good to get rid of.

Basically there are too many to name

good ideas, definitely a lot of subsidies that have been distorting markets for too long

which aspects of zoning are the most important to remove in your view?

reply

There's a lot, but I feel like the biggest ones are those that essentially mandate the building of single family homes and don't allow for any other type of housing. It drives up housing costs and exacerbates homelessness significantly.

I'd also like it if there were less of a separation between commercial and residential zoning, and if things like minimum parking requirements on businesses were removed.

reply

Zoning is a really interesting one. It's a damn shame there isn't more mixed zoning.. Would have been rad to grow up in the burbs, but still have some shops and such in the neighborhood, rather than needing a car to drive across town to get anything done. Maybe I wouldn't be so allergic to suburbs if there was something actually there.

Zoning laws could probably be blamed for our total lack of cultural cohesion and Third Places. (Speaking from a US perspective)

First thought was the 16th amendment (which was never properly ratified to begin with).

Then, I saw some of you guys proposing eliminating laws of nature and realized this opens up so many possibilities.

reply

Does the 16th amendment count? IYKYK!

This. I would pay almost any amount in sales tax to cover what they charge in income and property tax.

The patriot act

Close second

Bank secrecy act

reply

Bank Sec Act is my 1st.

Both are constitutional violations, I just can't understand how they've never been challenged.

reply

Yeah, back secrecy act is also a good candidate 🫶

reply

There are so many but the first that comes to my mind is:

LGBTQ Discrimination

Reference: 303 Creative LLC v. Elenis.

I'm only posting this reply because I'm starting to deal with business taxes. 1099s for dollar amounts paid over $600.

reply

Most laws are illegal but forced upon you by the top elites to maintain their privileged monopoly on money and to also control you

reply

ok but among them all, which is the most egregious?

reply

Tax laws are the worse becsuse they empower the state and make bigger. Not just the income tax but the inflation tax as well

reply

I would just suggest enforcing some laws which aren't, and that'd eliminate quite a few.
