presence, you can make all the excuses you want to about the importance of big government. The fact remains that there are only two purposes for govt. and those are: 1. protection of people and property and ...2. protection of the country.

The Constitution was written to be rules governing the government. This had never taken place any time in history before the founding of this country. Unfortunately, the people have learned how to grant themselves largesse from the country's coffers and we are spiralling downward. There is no free lunch! The price will be paid with a slow march toward dictatorship.

We have become a globalistic society and the march toward socialism is speeding up rapidly. Losing our right to ANY property is downright un-American.
