Hmmm.  I thought that was the 14th amendment.\n\nAnyway, yes I've heard of that.  Legal researchers have verified that the amendment to perperate a federal tax upon the people was never really legally ratified.\n\nAnd that's just the beginning of the fraud upon the people of this nation.  There's no real value to our money, since going off the gold standard in 1933.  AND the IRS and the Federal Reserve are quasi government agencies.--Don't even get me started, because there's plenty more.  This scandalous fraud is wayyy worse than the Enron fiasco and even the Emporer's New Clothes.  This is a fraud against the whole country, spanning several generations, and is continuing, unbeknownst to most.

Federal regulations usually set the foundation.  State regulations would be tougher.  One example would be federal regulation on mining is not as strict as the state version would be.

It's called the EPA, and they're a pain in the a$$.  Work in the industry and have to deal with the regulations sometimes (but at least they're better than the FDA, who are real SOB's).

Anything that sells cars. Also, 'wonder bread'. Any mother who would feed that crap to their child, should be jailed for abuse. Not only does the ad promote the most nutritionally bereft bread available on the market, it also says that it's okay to be an idiot parent, feed your kids crap, and worst of all, GIVE IN TO YOUR IDIOT CHILD'S DEMANDS, as it's the kids in the ad who ask for Wonder bread, and get it! This company, like the cigarette companies, should be sued, and forced to change the name 'Wonder bread' to 'Constipation enhancer'

Anything is too much. Taxpayers foot the bill, and some company reaps the profits. When demand exceeds supply, innovations follow.

At one time a lot of years ago, the federal government attempted to put a cap on price increases and such.  It was a disaster.  So the law was left to be ignored.  So the end of the story is that there really is not federal regulation regarding marking up prices or on the profit that anyone can make.  These items are not part of the constitution either.  In various states, however, there are laws against price gouging.  That means when there is a catastrophy, like the hurricane, someone cannot deliberately mark up an item that people need, just to make a ridiculous profit.

Best one I know of is gambling. People have a sickness for it. Sell bath-tub rubber ducks at $10.00 a pop. Each bearing their own number. Then at a designated date, drop them all off a bridge into a river. The first duck to pass say a 2-3 mile distance wins a decent token prize. 1st, second & 3rd place. Since it is NON-PROFIT, it should all be legal. Just make sure you have a net at the finish line, so as not to piss someone off about littering & rubber ducks washing everywhere. Don't forget to contact the Media, they love to cover events like this in-light of all the bad news on earth.

Local jurisdictions are permitted to set these limits, subject to a maximum defined in federal statutes (as these are federal highways).  Nothing complicated or puzzling about it.

There is always a better way. Given the thousands of things that are regulated by governments, like how a road is laid, timing of stop lights, etc., we really couldn't live without any regulation. \n\nThen consider what happens when banks became "unregulated" by Reagan, we paid; when TV became less regulated, althought the owners of stations use OUR airwaves, more commercials; and now consider that Bush want less regulation of literally everything that involved money to his buddies, you pay!

you're probably talking about the FTCA, or Federal Tort Claims Act.
