In what ways do you believe the government is coercing and initiating theft ?

Do you think the federal government should be elminated?

In what ways do you believe the government is coercing and initiating theft ?

The founders disapproved of military conscription (which is certainly coercement).

The founders disapproved of income taxation. (which is certainly theft).

The founders disapproved of ANY governmental redistribution of wealth. (which is certainly theft)

The founders disapproved of farm subsidies, arts subsidies, industry subsidies (which are certainly theft).

The founders disapproved of government prohibition of food or drink (which is certainly coercion).

The founders disapproved of restriction and regulation of firearms ownership (which is certainly coercion).

The founders disapproved of robbing citizens to pay for "foreign aid" (which is certainly theft).

The founders disapproved of federal mandates, on the number of gallons your toilet may legally flush (which is certainly coercion).

Do you think the federal government should be elminated?

I believe the federal government is 20 times larger than it is constitutionally empowered to be.

Reduce it to it's constitutional limits, and I'd be just fine with it.

Make it a voluntary assocation, and I'd be overjoyed.
