I just don't understand folks. All this talk about big Govt and then what it doesn't do and shouldn't do and should do.

I'm sure many would love to put the country in a time machine and take us back to...say...1860 way before income taxes and much of any govt at all when you could do what you wanted and had real freedom but wait if that happened just about everybody reading this wouldn't exist because their parents and grandparents would never have survived long enough to have kids of their own and even if some of our members were born they probably wouldn't have survived childhood.
