The idea that we should have minimal government regulation seems insane to me, and I don't understand why anyone would vote for that. Without regulation, consumers get screwed over. I presume anyone voting to remove regulation are doing so on the idea that they are voting to remove regulations they don't like, without thinking about all the ones they benefit from.
