<<< The entire nation was founded on the idea of limited government. >>> It all depends on how you define limited. Nevertheless, it was more about checks and balances and that government does not achieve powers that are absolute. In any case, in the nearly 250 years or so since the founding there have been advances both here and in Europe. All Europeans have, more or less, the same freedoms and rights that we have. In that time, we have also abolished slavery and women have made progress in achieving equal rights. It is not a case of having government involvement or not having government involvement. It is about compromise. There are things that government can do better and there are things you don't want government to have anything to do with. I grant you, I don't want government to have anything to do with a lot more than I want government involved in but there are essential services where we need government to step in - like in national defense and keeping us safe on a day in and day out basis, providing large scale disaster relief, health care for all citizens, and educating everyone (whether they want it or not - GGG).
