First off, unless you read my page of what this blog is about, you’ll find this topic very different than what you may be used to seeing. Please check out that page before continuing.
You should be able to count the roles of government on a single hand:
1. Defense
2. Protection of the rights of its people
3. Maintenance of the highway defense system
4. and this ties in with 3, to regulate interstate commerce
5. To uphold contracts people voluntarily enter into
I don’t think it could be put more concisely than how Thomas Jefferson put it:
“A government big enough to supply you with everything you need, is a government big enough to take away everything that you have….The course of history shows that as a government grows, liberty decreases.”
