Tort reform would save the whole economic system. The lawyers tax is a
drag on the whole economy, producing absolutely nothing.



?? Come on. More nonsense. Most lawyers are honest and hardworking.
Lawyers
founded this country. We have nothing to be ashamed of.

Most bookies are honest and hard working too but that doesn't mean
they are good for the community.

It's fair disengenous to equate lawyers and bookies. Outside of a few areas
in the country, bookmaking is illegal. Lawyers are doing the work of the
courts.

If lawyers were trolling the streets in 1776 advertising for victims
they would have been run out of town on a rail. In those days lawyers
defended people from the government, they didn't take on the powers of
the government to punish people, beyond the limits of what is
constitutional.


If polar bears showed up in Miami, they would be captured and removed. So,
your first sentence means nothing.

Secondly, lawyers did much the same work they do now. They did significantly
more then "defend people from the gov't." As to the rest of the sentence,
that also makes no sense. Lawyers work within the laws that have been
established, and sometimes, depending on the case, they cause the court to
action that changes law. This is basic stuff.
