This is the same kind of cost/benefit analysis that the Left utilizes to arrive at policy prescriptions. Rather than start from the purpose of law, they start from an objective they wish to accomplish. They then use the government’s monopoly on force in an attempt to coerce that objective. As conservatives, our policy prescriptions ought to be based on principle, not desired outcomes.
I’m certainly not saying you are a leftist. However, it concerns me greatly when conservatives validate the Left’s objective-based policy-making by using it when convenient.
Each item you list would be moot if our civil law flowed from natural law, rather than attempts at social engineering. The burdens you cite are self-imposed. We need only sit them down.
