This implies that some stooge in gubmint knows better than I do what's good for me. Considering how incompetent government employees are at all levels, that's a very scary thought.
It boggles the mind that so many people are willing to place their lives in the hands of faceless, nameless paper shufflers.
The problem is that government is necessary, up to the point where it becomes, more and more, tyranny.
The Constitution was written to find the *sweet spot* in the middle, enough government, but not too much.
It worked. Spectacularly. The United States is (or recently was) the most successful, most powerful, most prosperous country in the world. African Americans are far more prosperous and free than African Africans. Swedish Americans are more prosperous and free than Swedes... and so on.
The “Progressives” assume that since some government has worked pretty well, a lot more government will work even better... in spite of encyclopedias of historical failure of too much government.
