Eventually, if we allow the government to regulate this issue, this:
won't even be allowed anymore.
As long as we allow the government to take what they want, they'll never STOP. You give those bastards an inch, and they'll take a mile. And then more. And MORE.
Of course government will stop (or at lease swing in the opposite direction) if enough people vote to put the breaks on government. There are extremes on both ends. Compare it to taxation. If I remember history the highest tax bracket in Carters time was over 70%. Reagan conservatives came along and convinced people that this rate was too high. Government brought the top tier down.
There are probably more appropriate examples. Im not too concerned about American government thanks to our representative democracy. If we go too liberal, the American voters will vote for policies and representatives that will turn America toward a more conservative platform. If the general populace thinks that we are too conservative, liberals will be voted into power. It works almost like a pendulum. Though representative democracy is not a perfect political system (tyranny of the majority, money, etc.) I think that it is the best political system to date.
