Too late for that now, the DHBs cease to exist in 9 days.
Smith was active reasonably early in the industrial revolution, so he didn't have access to knowledge of the full impacts of that over time. That said, he was quite sceptical of the motives of merchants and landlords and didn't support unbridled capitalism...
Individual employers usually do get more than individual employees which makes sense in most contexts. I don't think the employer share of the pie should bigger than the employee share, however.
Or at least, making it illegal is not going to stop criminals and would-be criminals from joining.
Defending anyone's right to wear nazi insignia doesn't strike me as a good PR move, but your first sentence is an excellent point. The government would do well to stick to messaging on the uselessness and unenforceability of the suggested policy rather ...
