'We Have to Regulate Every Aspect of People's Lives'

'We Have to Regulate Every Aspect of People's Lives':

A Santa Barbara city councilman inadvertently let slip the primary purpose of progressivism in 21st century America.
The city recently criminalized the use of plastic straws. Speaking to that issue, Councilman Jesse Dominguez said, “Unfortunately, common sense is just not common. We have to regulate every aspect of people’s lives.”
Got that? "We" are smarter than you and know what's best for you better than you do.
