In case you're wondering who in the world supports all those moronic endless pages of government regulation, wonder no more. A varied group in New Hampshire showed up to a hearing to support stupid regulations.

So, who showed up to claim that barbers should have 1,500 hours of training before you're ALLOWED to cut someone else's hair? Why barbers, that's who.

Who showed up to demand that manicurists be required to have 300 hours of training before being permitted by the all-powerful state to clip someone's fingernails? Why the manicurists, that's who.

Do you see the pattern? Government regulations are used as a hammer to restrict competition. They are used by unions and others in the businesses to make it more difficult for other people to compete with them -- and that's completely and totally WRONG.

In this case, some Free State people tried to get the law to be more freedom-friendly. One person was actually arrested and sent to jail for cutting someone else's fingernails without a state license.

They tried to get the law fixed, but they were shouted down by people who hate freedom and competition. It's capitalism to attempt to reduce your competition so you can profit. It's totalitarianism to use the government to do it.
