If we were still living in the 1700s, I would totally agree with you.
Now we have.
#1 Social Security
#2 Medicare
#3 Libraries
#4 Public education. Including a state contribution for a state college.
#5 Product/Food safety and regulation
#6 The new inventions called a paved roads, massive sewer systems, water lines, electric lines, gas lines, street lights, traffic lights, telephone lines and dams.
The above are known examples of modernization. As things get more available and we live less like hermits and people live to be older, the burden on government, people, and the law change.

You see the disaster of Arabs living with the mentality of the 700s. So I would think you would make the connection that the world changed and we can't live in the 1700s either.

I don't know where you get the idea that I get a single nickel from anything connected to the government? I do not. I collect nothing and I'm not employed in any way by them.

I pay for all my own needs. I am not bought out, just logical that as the world progresses, things change, including the need for some additional laws for a current day.
I have no interest in growing government or laws in general. I am always for reviews of laws and reduction in and the simplification of existing laws.

Let me know how this all turns out when you go to court with the Libertarian party over the issues.

You make my case that you are a DemonRat idiot. Numbers 1-4 of your ridiculous list are NOT proper or legitimate functions of FedGov as per the Constitution nor have any amendments been offered to make them so. Number 5 MIGHT, by a stretch, be legit but not all that is legit is proper. Number 6 has nothing to do with FedGov what so ever. Paved roads have been with us for a long time without any need for FedGov except insofar as their Constitutionally-mandated duty to provide for Post Roads. Even that is being stretched to the limits.

Your bogus contention that these are proper "burdens" of FedGov without any amending of the Constitution to allow for it (which, of course, they KNOW would not pass) puts you right up with the Rats and CINOs and RINOs as a "living Constitution" Tax and Spend Capital "L" LIBERAL, unworthy of even LIVING if it were solely up to me. You are truly a Gray-out Devious Democrat and you should immediately get out your goobernatorial kneepads and RUN, don't walk, to Sac and give the head goober his proper homage. I bet you even believe in the now-dead notion of the "White Man's Burden" to bring "enlightenment" to the benighted minorities of the world. That would not surprise me in the least! (at least the notion is dead in RATIONAL people's eyes. LIBERALS still cling to that tenet of a failed faith as a drowning man clings to a piece of wreckage. Witness the "Affirmative Action" bilge - which I am sure you approve of - which says to anyone who actually THINKS that Liberals like you believe that "minorities" cannot advance in this country without YOUR help...a condescending notion if ever there was one.)
