    About this ebook

    ...Or Should There?

    We take for granted that laws are a necessary part of society. But does everything need to be regulated? Do more laws make us more secure? Happier? Or do they just grow government?

    This little booklet, clearly written by a fiscal conservative, takes a look at a number of important and economic and governmental topics. It is intentionally brief - serving to make a number of very quick but important points!

    Whether you are a liberal wondering what makes conservatives tick, or are a conservative looking for a short booklet to give your liberal friends, this may be just the book for you.
