Quoted from Sombody

I dont understand your thinking. I agree with with some of the basic priciples- but I think you take it too far. ? For example do you hire a licenced contractor to work on your house .?

Im sure you dont require a business license or liability insurance.

For me it depends on who, what and where .

Do you think an architect shoud need a license? NO

How about the electrician ?  NO

A painting contractor on Nantucket Island  working from architects spects need a LICENSE

Some guy painting your house mayb not so much NO


How about the electrican  ? And NO again

Of course you don't. Why should you be assured that they are
capable of performing the work you want done and are insured
to protect you against lawsuits!!!!   DUHmb!

Of course you believe state licensing assures you of a person's capabilities.  Without the states stamp of approval, how the hell can you assure somebody is capable?  Checking references would be too difficult.  I hate looking for babysitters for my kids because I always have to check references.  Only if babysitters required state licenses, then I could just ask for proof of a state licence and never have to do a reference check myself.

References,,,HAH HAH!  That's real reliable. You know that some level of government
intervention is right, but it's the GUBERMENT, so you have to take a stand against it!  DUHmb!

Yer kidding right?  You rely on state licenses and not references for quality of work?  If I was going to have a house built, their are builders I would use and builders I would NEVER USE.  Why would I not use certain builders?  Because the reputation of their work sucks. And guess what, they are all licensed to contract.

Good luck with using state licensing as your reference for selecting contractors.  Hope it works for you.

Didn't say I wouldn't use references....DUHmb. But won't hire any that are
not licensed and insured....DUHmb!

That's too bad. You choose to add to your costs for no reason IMO.  I'll take a retired contractor that doesn't have a licence anymore, with 40 years of proven success - licence or no licence. - don't matter.  I'll take experience over some bullshit licence any day.  As far as insurance...depends on the price of the job.

depends on how much you are worth that his lawyer will take you for when he falls on your property!
but in your case, can't get blood from a rock!
would probably do better in small claims court!  

I would trust a state license.  References have to be taken with "grain of salt" depending on who provides the list of references.  The contractor is not going to provide the names of references that he or she had "problems" with.

Gotta protect your millions?

Quoted from Libertarian4life

Because in your world, unlicensed people have no rights.

Rights are for everyone, not just government licensed entities.

If gambling is illegal, then it is illegal for all.

Issuing licenses to not be charged with a crime, is not equal treatment under the law.

This is a clear violation of the US Constitution.

In my world ? Well your philosphy will work in heaven. It does not hold up in reality on earth .. In schenectady, at your house no body needs a license.

There is not a lot of liability.

In my world I know there are fakers.

What are your requirments for the elevator contrat in a hundred story building ?

. Sure You and cicero dont need an architect to remodel your houses. You will know if work in being done properly. Slim shance of one of you sharp guys hireing a crook.-

A casino is able  stop almost all of the hanky panky sneaky  stuff with money  that yu complain about  that goes on in schenectady .

I need permission from the government to build on my own property?  Thanks for the heads up.  I always bought into that "freedom" stuff.  I didn't think permission to build on my property would be needed in a free society.

I really don't see the difference between residential and commercial development.  If I was a developer and was building high rises that needed elevators, I don't know why I would depend on a license for choosing a contractor instead of references and reputation.  It is still in my best interest to hire the best contractor at the best price to install an elevator.  I don't understand why a person would hire a contractor that does shoddy work, if the building is going to be open to the public.  If you do that, then if there is a problem with the elevator, it is you as the developer and the contractor that gets the bad reputation and risks going out of business.

On your last sentence.  How do you trust the most corrupt government in the US with regulating a Casino?  The New York State government operates through backroom hanky panky, sneaky money stuff.  That's business as usual.
