    Well it isn't to make the politicians richer with passing laws that benefit them to get rich , to make huge salary's and receive huge pensions. It isn't to make government bigger and in more control of what the little person can do and Pay and Pay and Pay!

    To Protect people, their property and their rights from others when they can't protect themselves.

    Ask yourself on ANY and Every Law, who does it protect?

    Like the Seat Belt Law. Who does my wearing a seat belt protect? ME!!! no one else. (BAD LAW)

    Why would they pass a Law requiring Kids to be in car seat? Because Kids can't protect themselves. (GOOD LAW)

    The NO Smoking Law? Why? To protect those that don't want to breath smoke from HARM. (Good Law)

    A Law that says I can't buy Soda or Candy from a vending machine? Who does it protect? ME! Not anyone else. (Bad Law)
