Most people believe you shouldn't have the right to take a risk they wouldn't take themselves.
This is pretty much basis of the majority of laws on the books to be honest.
- the_gastropod 9y agoSomething something privatize the earnings socialize the losses. A good part of government's job is to limit risk so that those most at risk don't suffer. Speed limits exist to limit risk. Drug laws exist to limit risk. Bank regulations exist to limit risk. SEC laws exist to limit risk. In a system with safety nets (unemployment laws, bankruptcy laws, welfare, food stamps, subsidized housing programs, etc), there must be some limits to prevent abuse of these programs from undue risk.
