A small, family-owned juice company’s proprietor is criminally prosecuted for “discharging” apple juice-infused rinse water into a stream. Three seafood importers are convicted and jailed for eight years for importing lobster tails in plastic bags, rather than cardboard boxes. A landowner is prosecuted for moving sand on his property without a permit. A medical products manufacturer informs doctors of life-saving uses of its product, and is criminally investigated.

Can our government do all of this to honest American businesses and hard-working individuals?
