The whole government mechanism now has become a device by which to rob the American people of their wealth and freedoms. The federal government has only two basic duties according to the Constitution- "to provide for the common defense and promote the general welfare." If it would go back to doing just that, we would all be much better off. Our trust in our government displays a lack of trust in ourselves as men to decide what is best for each of us, abdicating that responsibility to Big Brother.

The problem of the government is that it is no longer accountable to the people. We have professional politicians of their own class, spending their entire lives exerting power over others. Doesn't sound too democratic to me...
