The right to rise does not require a libertarian utopia to exist. Rather, it requires fewer, simpler and more outcome-oriented rules. Rules for which an honest cost-benefit analysis is done before their imposition. Rules that sunset so they can be eliminated or adjusted as conditions change.

And the only job growth has been in petrol products which Barack is trying to delay like the Keystone pipeline, making us more dependent on unstable foreign sources. Can we have a reality check here?
