You may have the majority opinion (at the moment), but bear in mind that the majority of people are sheep. It is the minority that are the leaders.
I don't know your age, but I suspect that you are a product of the public school system that was never taught any history that was not "politically correct." There has been a lack of American history that dealt with the danger of too much government since the end of WWII.
The founding of America and the breaking of the bonds with decadent Europe was, and still is, a beautiful story that few today are aware of. Our Founding Fathers knew what they were creating and we have ignored all their warnings.
Too bad.
