Lawmaker A: But my interns are getting a lot of calls on it, it's harder for my lobbyists to make appointments.
Lawmaker B: Let's ban, tax, or require licenses for it!

Spoken like a card carrying Republican... you think there's too much regulation and government intervention. "People should just be left to their own devices and deal with the consequences, nevermind that big businesses frequently try to cut corners at the expense of the consumer.
