Big Government and The People

I've been thinking about the size of government, the sovereignty of the person and stuff like that.

Imagine a beach ball, a baseball, a golf ball and a dump truck full of sand.

When this country was founded, the Founders envisioned people to be sovereign: the beach ball.

They envisioned the people giving SOME RIGHTS to their state governments: the baseball.

They envisioned the people giving a FEW LIMITED, ENUMERATED rights to the federal government: the golf ball.

What we have today is the federal government (the dump truck full of sand) burying everything.....

This whole federal government is unconstitutional

The government is forcing us to buy health insurance. The EPA is forcing a corrupt dictatorship on businesses and us. who elected the EPA , IRS , FCC idiots?

GOVERNMENT schools are the problem

abolish government schools, EPA, FCC , FEC, FDA, TSA etc now.

Government, democrats and the news media are the only real problems we have . Imagine if government , the news media , democrats/liberals went away , what problems would we have ? none. Democrat congresses created 99% of the government we have when they passed social security, Obamacare, environmental laws, welfare etc.

The US Constitution was written down for ONE purpose and one purpose ONLY..
TO LIMIT THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT.. no other reason..

IF you have other reasons you’re simply WRONG!..
