That statement in itself should scare the shit out of you!! Yes I understand humans need some sort of organization, chaos breeds death and destruction. Nobody wants to randomly die. I will take going out at 80 versus 40 any day. The innate self determination to live is in all of us. Fight or flight is in every animal that lives on this planet including us, the humans!!
Governments from their inception have sought to control the populations they oversee. You give someone power and it is inevitable that someone along the line will take that power and perverse it to their own advantage. Bribes, bribery and straight out coercion could get any elected official to sway their vote to the dark side, so to speak.
So ask yourself one question. Name one thing that the federal government has done that has helped the American citizens. I will wait. Some will say, Social Security or Medicare. Great programs, so then tell me why both are going broke? Somewhere between 2034 and 2037 both will be out of money. The federal government owes, yes, owes Social Security and Medicare $5 trillion dollars. Regardless of the fact that the federal government may or may not have the ability to borrow from these programs, they were put in place to serve Americans not the federal government.
Here is my take. I have evolved into Constitutionist. Conservative by nature, support the Constitution without fail. Democrats have failed us. Republicans have failed us. What can this country fall back on, the Constitution. The founders got it right, limited federal government. How many redundant agency’s are there between the federal and the state government? Hell every state basically has an EPA in some form or fashion. The ground rules have been set. According to the Constitution every state is it’s own entity, the federal government provides a Republican form of government and basic protections against foreign invaders. Boom that is it. You want to restore the Republic, you vote in people that are Constitutionist in nature. Good bye EPA, good bye Department of Education, etc. The states run the country, the federal government is there to hold it together, not run it.
