OK, I get it.
Even when there are measures that work and that benefit the State - we should avoid them.
I don’t agree. I guess that makes me a Nanny Stater, huh?
I want government small and frustrated with a lack of power and money. Safer for everyone. We have in our possession a Constitution that was written with that view in mind. The perceived need for intervention and good works has however vastly expanded the size, scope, power and expense of government. Now when evil people gain power they possess unfettered scope, power and money to work mischief.
Keep government small and we can all be a bit frustrated by the ineffectual government. But we can rest in our beds knowing that the government cannot perpetrate tyranny.
