The welfare state was also created by the law book, but you do make a great point. We need to massively reduce the size and scope of the Federal Government.
The problem I have with Libertarians is that they are dangerously ignorant of the world in which we live. Soros has spent too much money either influencing or compromising the party.
Heroin turned powerful nations with amazing culture, such as China and Iran, into slave nations.
The Federal governments role is to protect and support general welfare. That is what we pay taxes for.
Heroin is NOT alcohol that can be consumed periodically without ending in deadly addiction. The Feds are not doing their job allowing Poisonous heroin, killer “spice marijuana” from China, and approving opiods and other highly addictive substances, even for children, giving doctors and parents a VERY false sense of security.
The Feds are in cahoots with the cartels and that is treason. Taxation without representation is tyranny.
