Regulation - I would want to know which regulatory functions someone wants limited and not just "we oppose too much regulation". How much is too much? (Hint - you aren't allowed to answer with just one anecdote from an extreme case). Taxation - didn't mention that, though it's a valid issue. Having never conducted complex interstate commerce myself, I can't say I know the issue well. Which points of taxation do you object to? Trade barriers - didn't come up in my example. Restrictive licensing - hadn't thought about that one. Is it a common problem? Where? Government controls on prices - I suppose that gets into agricultural price support programs. I'd be happy to see them scrapped across the board myself. Any other price control programs still floating around?
