To: United States Federal Trade Commission Regarding: Proposed “Trade Regulation Rule on Business Opportunities” Response: I am just a common man, a citizen of these here United States of America. I am a strong believer in capitalism as an entrepreneur, salesman, Realtor, artist and businessman. A professor with numerous degrees in business and law is not needed to see the problems this proposed trade regulation rule shall cause should an unwise decision be made to enact this proposal. A history lesson short, during the debates on the adoption of the Constitution, its opponents repeatedly charged that the Constitution as drafted would open the way to tyranny by the central government. Fresh in their minds was the memory of the British violation of civil rights before and during the Revolution. In fact the most vocal opponent of the Constitution believing in these charges was Thomas Jefferson. “It has no declaration of rights,” he had stated. I am not going to argue the constitutionality of this proposal, as I am not an attorney. Although, I feel the FTC is boarding on questionable judgment in this proposal. As a federal commission, your bureaucracy status has blinded you of the public that you are indeed here to serve. You have begun to open the door to tyranny as Thomas Jefferson and others had predicted. In every regulation and rule, the FTC places on the capitalistic citizens of the United States of America, you put one more nail in the coffin of the world’s greatest society of capitalists! These proposed rules are not at a benefit of the consumer but poorly designed to unfairly target negatively with consequence a group of business professionals. This ruling would hold this here group of professional to unrealistic and tyrannistic standards of business that no other profession must follow in its entirety, hence “targeting.”
