Why can't government stay out of our lives?

once they get elected and get in power, they begin to believe that they know more than the people who elected them. they no longer believe that we understand things and they feel that they must protect us from ourselves.

this is why i advocate term limits for congress. two terms is enough and they do not deserve all those perks for the rest of their lives that we have to pay for....we need to kick all of them out and start over with official that do what we elect them to do, respent us, not make themselves rich.

Because history tell us that when our government steps back and allows individuals and businesses the freedom to control their own destinies the end result is that the needs of the few destroy the needs of the many.

In a moral society goverment wouldn't have to step in and write laws that banned slavery and child labor and unsafe workiing conditions

In a moral society goverment wouldn't have to step in an write laws that insured that our vehicles , food , drugs , water were safe for our use

I could do these all day long But you get my point.

I just dont understand why they dont just stay away from the USA. For those who want a socialist nation - leave! There are countries that do that! Why should the USA or any country change for one person or a group of people.

WHY CHANGE A SYSTEM THAT WORKED SO WELL FOR 200 PLUS YEARS? We have one of the oldest govt in the world, we're a new country yes, but we have an older gov't compared to the rest of the world. The other countries have changes their gov't so many times.

in case you have been so smart, you will understand that germany was in terrible concern in the previous international conflict II. they have been a great possibility to us. arent you happy that we fought in international conflict II and became them right into a civilized united states of america? now we dont ought to concern approximately them attempting to attack us. Iraq and those different middle-jap international locations are enormously plenty an analogous deal. we would desire to administration their governments so sometime we wont ought to concern approximately them attacking us. doesnt that sound good to you? and as properly, we dont want the government to regulate our money. that has not something to do with something you're speaking approximately

let's break it down for ya hon. gov-ern-ment ie. to govern elected(in our case, not all governments allow this) to represent (or administer to) the people. as to mess'in with "libertarian lesbians" I'll meet you behind the ball field after school-don't make me come find you!

Because it gives them something to do, and simultaneously, a reason for their jobs.

Also keep in mind that a lot of people demand governmental interventions (Medicare, saving GM, etc.) regardless of the rhetoric they spout about wanting to be "left alone".

you want government out of your life? move to a country that has no government control/interest/security or organization. And when you find said country, let us know so anybody that wants to can join you. What a great concept! A country with NO government control.

They don't think we can take care of ourselves and make intelligent decisions for ourselves - and let's face it, a lot of us can't. But that is remedied by the natural occurrence known as "SURVIVAL OF THE FITTEST". So just because a lot of us are incapable of making intelligent decisions doesn't mean the government needs to compensate for that.

I'm so tired of this question. Please provide a list of how you are "being controlled." I'm just dying to know what you feel that you can't do because of government.

They need more of your money, they are too broke at this point and the printing press is running low on ink.
