The more laws and restrictions there are,
The poorer people become ...
The more rules and regulations,
The more thieves and robbers,
Therefore the sage says:
I take no action and people are reformed.
I enjoy peace and people become honest.
I do nothing and people become rich.
I have no desires and people return to the good and simple life.
Lao Tsu, Tao Te Ching

Prosperity comes from everybody working for everybody else.

7 Deadly Wins For a Free Market:
1. It is the fairest system to all.
2. It is the only system flexible enough to adapt to changing conditions - because it is inherently flexible.
3. It is the most efficient and least wasteful system. Thus it is the most harmonious with nature.
4. It is the easiest and cheapest system to administrate because it requires little administration.
5. It is the system by which people become the most prosperous - and the least dependent on government.
As a result of their prosperity they are able to exchange more and become more prosperous. A virtuous circle is created.
6. It is the system that brings the best out of people. It raises standards of behaviour. There is more trust, more giving, more kindness,
people become enterpreneurs, not rent-seekers.
7. It is the system that brings the most progress, and therefore that which best benefits mankind.
