How unelected regulators stole the future America was meant to have

In this powerful constitutional video, Clifford Ribner exposes how the federal government’s vast network of regulatory agencies has quietly dismantled American freedom, smothered innovation, and placed unelected bureaucrats in charge of the nation’s destiny.

For more than a century, Washington has claimed it was “protecting the people.” The truth is the opposite. Each new agency—the FAA, SEC, FCC, FDA, and hundreds more—expanded the power of the state, concentrated control in administrative hands, and undermined the market system that made America free and prosperous.

The video traces how the Commerce Clause, once written to prevent state interference in trade, was twisted into a justification for federal domination of every corner of the economy. The result hasn’t been safety or progress. It has been stagnation, dependency, and a steady erosion of liberty.

The regulatory state promised efficiency and fairness. In reality, it delivered tyranny by bureaucracy.

What you’ll see in this video

– How federal agencies seized powers the Constitution never granted

– Why “regulation” became a weapon to block innovation and protect entrenched interests

– The unseen cost of bureaucracy—products never made, technologies never sold, freedoms never lived

– The Founders’ warnings in The Federalist Papers and Gibbons v. Ogden about this very danger

This is one of Clifford Ribner’s clearest explanations of how the administrative state destroys liberty, prosperity, and the very future it claims to defend.
