In America today, anyone can sue for anything, no matter how frivolous or unwarranted. There was a time that lawyers filing frivolous suits were penalized, and such suits were simply tossed out without a thought.
Not any more. Today, a person can sue because they were not warned the coffee would be hot, or that a ball player could get hit with the ball.
The lawsuits that emerge simply because the plaintiff is stupid, ignorant or lacks common sense is costing each person in America $1800 a year in costs added to the products we buy. And a lot of good products we need will never be marketed for fear of litigation.
It's time for "we, the people" to stand and be counted. Tell your elected officials to stop the madness. Tell them we need a law that 1) prevents lawsuits founded from stupidity, ignorance or a lack of common sense from being allowed, and 2) place a $5000 fine on any lawyer who files such a suit. Any lawyer that presents more than three such frivolous lawsuits in any three year period would be disbarred.
If the people stand up and force the issue, we can do this. And the benefits would be huge. First, we all start saving money. But more important, businesses can grow and produce jobs, without threat of dumb litigation that would cost them huge amounts. And, finally, it could result in a lessening of the over-regulation we now see - every regulation costs consumers money.
So, folks - what will it be? Will you fight to take back your country, or simply sit back and lose?
