Me Too
Excellent post man
EDIT: I saw some comments about how is getting nothing from the government bad. Ummm....good question!!!. When it comes to the government less is always more in my book but at the same time i'm pragmatic enough to know we occasionally need them to make a new law and with the current system we either get an all or nothing law which always ends up sucking for one side or the other.
I dont want much at all from the government equal protection under the law secure borders .
I support government doing science projects .
Im not a fan of gift cards.
In my opinion the federal government's role is very simple:
1) Protect us from foreign threats (not just militarily)
2) Equal Protection under the law
3) Stay out of the people's way and in doing so stay out of state governance.
Thats it....thats all the feds SHOULD be invovled in. The rest should fall to individual states and towns.
If that were all the federal government should do, there wouldn't be a "general welfare" clause in the Constitution. There wouldn't be a commerce clause.
The idea that government serves minimal purpose may have been fine when all there were, were dirt roads and horses... not now.
environment, roads, education, etc...
people who hate government, shouldn't run government any more than someone who hates artifacts should run a museum.
