Do we really need so much government?

The answer to the question,, do we need so much government is easy. There is way too much already! It needs to be cut back massively.

You are absolutely right. The framers never envisioned full time government with career politicians building a massive bureaucracy spending trillions of dollars on government giveaways! I am thinking about writing a book called "Ben and Me" where Benjamin Franklin comes back to a postal worker (possibly spoof "Oh, God") and is happy and sad about what the US has become!

If we don't have government holding our hands as we cross the roads of life, how will we ever get to the other side?

I'm willing to give up my freedoms if it will add time to my life. I figure for every new law passed by politicians, it adds an average of 20 minutes to my lifespan. I think I'm going to live until I'm 150!

I simply don't understand all these objections to government babysitting? When I was a child my parents made the rules. I didn't always like it, but they loved me. I know my government loves me too. Instead of Representative and Senator, I call my reps Mommy and Daddy.

If you're not kidding, I don't know where to start! I am going to live to be 150 but NOT if government takes away my trans-fats!

As for government being like adults making the rules for the children, government is adults making rules for other adults... who may know better than they do about what's right and wrong. I, for one, think the government has made some BAD decisions and will continue to do so.

Thanks for your comments. That's the trouble with good parody, sometimes it's hard to tell the difference!

Am I kidding...no way! I'm an imbecile and if the government doesn't protect me from myself, who will?

How sad for you. Too bad there are so many of you out there that need the government to help do for you what you will not do for yourself. Government has created a dependent class of people. What happens when we get to 100% tax on everyone and that's not enough?
