It seems North Carolina doesn't have enough control over your life. They've passed more restrictions on who is permitted to sell their own personal property in North Carolina. They already require people who sell houses to have licenses, but they've made it more difficult for them now.

North Carolina has a complex system of licenses, including realtor salesperson licenses and broker licenses. Some are provisional, based on obtaining required "training." 75 to 90 hours of "classroom training" is now required. Why? To PREVENT people from having those jobs.

There is no reason to require such licenses. If I want to sell a house, of what business is it of the state? Why do I have to ask permission, then seek training and education to sell a house? That's completely and utterly wrong. I cannot understand anyone who supports this lunacy. It is completely anti-freedom.

The actual reasons are because those who are already in the system want to prevent others from becoming realtors, so the engage the government in helping to protect themselves. So yes, government IS acting as a protection racket when they are used to require licensing for "professions," and it is absolutely WRONG in an allegedly free, capitalist society.
