[Eric Blair 2084]

The proper role of Gubmint is not very complicated:

Ensure a properly functioning free market economy that allows people to acquire STUFF for their family

Provide a strong armed forces to prevent foreign enemies from invading and taking our STUFF or blowing up our STUFF

Provide law enforcement and criminal justice to prevent other citizens from taking our STUFF or hurting us or our family

Guard the border to make sure illegal immigrants don't come in here and try to get STUFF

Build roads, highways, bridges and other transportation infrastructure so that we can move our STUFF from one place to another

Hire a limited number of bureaucrats to keep track of our STUFF
