Less Government

The government was not designed to be a giant octopus with its tentacles reaching into everything.  Our Constitution is very specific in its purpose;  it is to limit the power of the government in such that the rights of the citizens are protected from government abuse. The Constitution is our means of maintaining freedom and is intended to protect us from government overreach.  

Government is not a solution to our problem; government is the problem. - Ronald Reagan

[A] wise and frugal Government, which shall restrain men from injuring one another, shall leave them otherwise free to regulate their own pursuits of industry and improvement and shall not take from the mouth of labor the bread it has earned. - Thomas Jefferson
