They fought a war for equal representation in that governmentComplete and utter BS!
That is just the feckless Libertarian attempt to hijack the definition of liberalism.
The Founding Fathers were no different to the liberals of today. They would LOL at Libertarians for being witless impractical fools who don't have a clue as to how to actually run a country.
Did they or did they not fight a war to get away from big overbearing government?
If that was true, they would not have disbanded from the English Government.
They fought a war to get away from huge government controlling them.
No they fought a war because they not represented by the government. All they wanted was representation. They government today is a representative government. Why do you have a problem with the government that the FF's put their lives on the line for?
We don't have a representative government for the people today.
They only represent special interests groups now.
This is why people on both sides are angry with them.
That has nothing to do with the size of the government. If you want to stop the corruption of our representatives then push for a constitutional amendment making it illegal to bribe them with campaign contributions and outside funding. And yes, it was the conservatives on the SCOTUS that passed Citizens United allowing corporations to buy your representatives. And it was the conservatives in the House that raised the limits on spending by individuals to excessive levels.
Your problem is of your own making. Stop blaming this phony "big government" deflection and focus your attention on doing what is needed to stop the problem. Demand a constitutional amendment to outlaw all election funding.
