The answer is "not much" considering how ridiculously bloated our Federal Government has become and the absurd power they have been given. That is the best you can come up with?

Why don't we scale back the Federal Government's power 50 or 100 years to when they did things for people and promoted freedom then?

List your grievances, and we can talk about them

Those are expectations. Which I guess, that is what you are getting at.
Trust would come with always meeting or beating your expectations.

trust - expectation based on previous results.

Yet you are free to answer yes or no and point out that you object to the add ons. So what is your problem with it?

No, morfe like what happens without regard to which party they represent. Both desire complete power.

You are aware the federal government now has now imposed a punitive tax to leave?

War?

With a minimalistic approach.

The racist in you, won't let you think otherwise.
The way the government did it, created a lot of resentment and hate.
I didn't see that for white ass, Moses.

It was trending that owning another human was wrong. It was slowly being eliminated little by little with education, over legislation and force.


Do you trust the Federal Government, to not enslave you without you realizing you are now a slave to the Federal Government. Try not paying your taxes on your hard work and then tell me you are a free man.

I think a better poll question would have been:

On a scale of 1-10, with 1 being no way and 10 being everything is good. How legitimate do you feel the US government is. On that scale I would still rate it a 6. I am real busy today, so if someone finds time and wishes to set that poll/question up, go for it.

Most of my grievances are all the unconstitutional and undeclared wars but also the Patriot Act, NDAA, Department of Homeland Security, War on "Drugs", NSA, NRO, DEA, CIA, IRS, FBI.

I don't like the way the options are worded.

Yes, I support the Federal government and the federal system of the United States. However, I also believe that the Federal government should have it's powers limited to a larger degree than is currently the case.
