The federal government should do very little. It should be here to settle disputes among other states, and to do those things listed in the Constitution and nothing else. Everything else is up to the state. We do still need elected people to do the exact things mentioned by the Constitution, but nothing else.

Americans didn't pay taxes for the first 137 years of America's existence. We did pretty damn good at becoming one of the world's greatest powers during that time.

I'm certainly not an anarchist. I merely insist on the government adhering to the limitations on its powers and that it do nothing outside of those enumerated powers.

All elected officials should fear for their lives if they step outside the bounds of the Constitution.
