The Role of Gov't

I agree. Nicely done.

Ronald Reagan once said that if asked to put the role of government into one sentence, he would say, "Government exists to protect us from each other."

If I had to do it, I would say, "Goverment exists to protect its citizens 'right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.'"

Either way, if more people thought like you, the world would be a better place.

Thanks for the comment and as I believe this is your first comment, welcome to the site.

I hesitated at first to publish this as it seemed overly simplistic, but I decided simple sometimes does make sense.

Thanks for the Reagan quote it is one that I either missed or forgot.
