Justin Trudeau and Castro are waiting for you Koan - seek political asylum and or psychiatric help. You will find you get what you pay for in a free country. Good luck to you... "Today, when a concerted effort is made to obliterate this point, it cannot be repeated too often that the Constitution is a limitation on the government, not on private individuals—that it does not prescribe the conduct of private individuals, only the conduct of the government—that it is not a charter for government power, but a charter of the citizens’ protection against the government. Ours was the first government based on and strictly limited by a written document—the Constitution—which specifically forbids it to violate individual rights or to act on whim. The history of the atrocities perpetrated by all the other kinds of governments—unrestricted governments acting on unprovable assumptions—demonstrates the value and validity of the original political theory on which this country was built." Ayn Rand

The trouble with Big government is they take a dollar in taxes, 40% goes to government supporting the bureaucracy and 40% is returned to the people and the remaining 20% goes toward things you did not need in the first place. The second thing is Government employees have higher wage & benefit packages than the people who generate the taxes th support them. And to compound the problem, majority of the workforce is employed directly or indirectly by Government. Only Private businesses or their workers actually contribute to a Countries tax base. They produce a product deliver it for a profit. Part of which they submit in taxes. On the other hand Government workers financially, really contribute nothing. They live by recirculation. They take their remuneration or wages out of the collected tax base pool, then a portion is deducted in the form of tax. but no matter how much they deduct, the pool from which it came is still smaller. Big Government and their workers survive like parasites on the backs of the private industries. That is not to say some of it is not necessary. But in order to keep a Country financially secure there must be limits placed on the size of government otherwise it becomes top heavy with large debt and continual deficits leading to collapse. I have always preferred the option of keeping a tight hold on available money supply. It promotes a much more efficient use of what is at hand. Choices are then distinguished between wants and actual Needs
