That isn't what the American people signed up for when they entered into the contract known as the Constitution.

It's what the signed up for when they decided the government should be big brother and provide retirement systems, medical care etc etc

I agree. Too few people make that connection.

Paraphrasing from memory: "Any government powerful enough to give you everything you want is powerful enough to take everything you have."

There's an interesting fictitious short story called, "The Wild and Free Pigs of the Okankanofee (sp?) Swamp" that makes this point very well.
