Big Government is Dangerous
When governments decide what your children learn, what you are allowed to think is moral and who gets to live or die based on 'quality of life', it is time to reconsider 'big government'. Mark Steyn makes this point using an argument from experience.
As we can see in Europe every day of the week, Big Government is a national security issue -- for all the reasons Milton Friedman understood: In diminishing individual liberty, it transforms free-born citizens into nanny-state charges to the point where it imperils the existence of the nation
Big government is about short term feel good solutions. Dealing with the real issues involve individuals, not governments.
