Here is what "Cutting government red tape" means.

First off, we need to understand that part of the role of government is to protect people from exploitation from businesses. We have a bunch of laws because people were dying in industrial accidents and were being poisoned by businesses.

The red tape that some politicians want to cut is those protections that keep people safe.

Sure, they find some rule that looks really bureaucratic and no one sees a need for as the example, but what they really want to do is pump their effluent into a river, pollute the air, feed you poison, etc.

Those "red tape" things that protect us from exploitation are not cheap and businesses don't want them.

Do you know why we have to cook chicken, eggs and hamburger well done? Well, that is because there is less red tape in the slaughterhouse than there needs to be.

Remember this when a politician wants to cut inspections. He values your life as lower than his donor's wealth.

[#]Trump is going to town on #RedTape right now and #PP will follow.
