Just of a lot.
Don't you understand that conformism, in an insane society, is a form of neurosis?
In an article a few years ago, libertarian Charles Murray argued that the laws and regulations that govern us are now so numerous, complex, and impossible to understand that the average American cannot avoid being a lawbreaker. He cited this endless proliferation of laws as one of the reasons for the current public cynicism and distrust of government.
Ayn Rand predicted such a state of affairs in her 1957 novel, Atlas Shrugged, and suggested dark motives for it:
"There's no way to rule innocent men. The only power any government has is the power to crack down on criminals. Well, when there aren't enough criminals one makes them. One declares so many things to be a crime that it becomes impossible for men to live without breaking laws."
Corporations, hand-in-hand with governments, are becoming more and more tyrannical: they want too much control over our lives.
"Where there are too many laws, there is no justice." German Proverb.

And so .... what .... are you going to be the one who decides which laws are sane and which are "insane"?
How do you propose to "get rid" of "just of a lot" of the "hordes of parasitic lawyers"? Planning to herd us into camps and gas us?? Actually, conforming to an insane society goes as lot further than neurosis, however, I can see from your sentence structure that English is not your primary language, so I will assume that you intended to express something completely different from that which you actually wrote.
"Corporations, hand-in-hand with governments, are becoming more and more tyrannical: they want too much control over our lives." I am reminded of a quote by an eminent American philosopher who said "We have met the enemy, and he is us."
I would suggest you look long and hard at your own control issues (as you are deciding what laws are worthy of staying and which you will break because they "deserve" to be broken).
