Being anti-slavery simply meant you didn’t agree with slavery; being an abolitionist meant you’d crossed a bridge inside yourself, from “I don’t agree” to “Not on my watch.” Which are you in relation to a corporate aristocracy that has corrupted our govt and eroded our democracy?

We agree. Now explain why you think that it's a good idea to make government bigger and give it more control!
The issue is not how big or small government is; the issue is who it’s working for. Right now, mainly due to the undue influence of money on our political system, our government does more to advocate for short term corporate profits than it does to advocate for us.

Marianne, I believe you’re half right. The size does matter as the bloat is always symptomatic of corruption. Corruption does not require corporations. It requires corrupt people. Many bloated states that profess to serve the people do anything but.

Just checking in. Government that governs least governments best.
#Reparations2020 Cut the check.

The size of govt means dictates how much influence bureaucrats have, counter measures for corruption and social services for the people that need them. I want to know that my money is out of the hands of the corrupt and into those that need it. I want non-partisan bureaucrats

It's all about how big our government is. Small, limited government has no choice but to work for the people. The bigger the government the more power and control it has. Basic physics and human nature
