Regulations imposed by federal, state, and local legislatures, departments, agencies, authorities, and boards violate individual rights by limiting your ability to be in control of your life. The Department of Agriculture (USDA) regulates the food you eat, and the Food & Drug Administration (FDA) regulates pharmaceutical drug development, marketing, and sales, and what your doctor can prescribe you. The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) regulates how U.S. companies trade both with foreign countries and with one another, and the Federal Aviation Authority regulates air travel and aircraft production. At the state level, public utility commissions (PUCs) regulate the electricity and natural gas that utility companies produce and distribute and that you consume. And departments of education regulate class sizes and curricula for your children. Locally, zoning boards and planning commissions regulate where and what builders can build, and building inspectors determine when your house is safe to move into. School boards regulate the same things as state departments of education do, just more so. And this is just the tip of the iceberg.
