Quote:

The PROPER ROLE OF GOVERNMENT is the real question that gets left in the dust unanswered every time.

There almost isn't a proper role for government. Very nearly all political government is about imposing a minority ideology onto those who don't wish to accept it.

For the most part, people would get along just fine without government. About the only time I interact with government is when they steal my money.

Why do you complain? It's the criminals who decide how proceeds of crime are spent, not the victims.
