"A government big enough to give you everything you want is a government big enough to take from you everything you have.
-Gerald Ford (14 July 1913 – 26 December 2006)
38th President of the United States.
Presidential address to a joint session of Congress (12 August 1974)
Government always finds a need for whatever money it gets.
-Ronald Reagan
Government does not solve problems; it subsidizes them.
-Ronald Reagan

-Thomas Jefferson
Government exists to protect us from each other. Where government has gone beyond its limits is in deciding to protect us from ourselves.
-Ronald Reagan

It is not liberals vs conservatives, we all want Government to have as little effects on our lives as possible.
It is the NeoCons and NeoLibs that want an intrusive and powerful centralized Government. They have dominated our politics for the last 20-30 years.
