Lots of Government-Bad, Limited Government- Good
Government in and of itself is not necessarily a bad thing, but too much government is! Government is necessary for facilitating reparation of roads and maintenance of infrastructure. It is helpful in ironing out details of laws and the enforcement of laws. Government cannot be helpful at all when it is too large, though. Once government becomes an entity unto itself it can no longer carry out its true purpose- adhering to the wants and needs of the majority of its private citizens. Once government is so large it has become its own independent machine it can only hinder its private citizens. It passes laws in interests of big business instead of interests of its constituents. I am of course talking about democratic government for the purpose of this blog. A great example of government overextending its reach is the way the federal government of the United States manipulates individual states into bending to the White House's will. Laws about drinking ages should be reserved to individual states to make. Through manipulation of funds, the federal government goes completely above the Constitution. It is so large and powerful it no longer has to be accountable to the actual people of the United States. That is of course where we are today and it is terrible. Our government is not accountable to us. The government does what it wants because it is too large to control. Limited government is the only good government. Small government that must be accountable to its population.
