America has the largest government in the history of the world. Along with that, we have the most corruption, biggest military, largest national debt, the list goes on.
When you compare that to how free we are under this massive government, the chart moves in a downward progression. I am seeing a cause and effect correlation here. An ancient Chinese philosopher named Lao Tsu once said, “ The government is like a dragon, the more you feed it the bigger it gets, it will never get smaller.”
Yes.
If you look up the definition of Government, I can't find anything good about it in any definition what so ever. Eventually Governments have nothing at all to do with the people, except control them, and control them more, until eventually the Government controls them completely. It goes something like this for the good governments ( sorry for the oxymoron. ). Republic, a Republican form of Democracy, the start of Empire building, Democracy, the last step is a form of control, it could be a form of Socialism, or it could be a form of Fascism, notice the word form, example for the last one, is one leader is not at all necessary it could be a Corporate governing council or some group of organizations. There is no escape from the last step, which is collapse and perhaps a takeover by outside forces.
