I would love it if you explained why you think state government is better than the federal government.

The same reason I think city government is better then state government.

All powerful bodies are corrupt. The less power they have, the less corrupt they are. For example, I live in Minnesota. We have 5.3 million people here. If all of the money collected from them (all except the minimum needed to run a federal government), we given to the state to manage, I am sure the people in office who have to answer to 5.3 million people, would care a lot more about what they think then the people who have to answer to 307 million.

 

So by your logic no government would be best of all since I'm sure you think your deomestic government is better than your city government, right? You do realize that modern civilization has progressed much farther now, than it ever did when people just lived under city states, right? Just something to think about. Maybe it's not necessarily good for you, but it seems that the human race benefits a lot more, the mroe it is organized, what you are proposing is very close to anarchy.

It's true, that no government would mean government was the least posable corrupt, but where did I ever say I didn't want government?

I want the US government to do what they were intended to do. Protect my rights, and protect my country. This is what I pay them to do. This is all I want them to do. The rest, the people can take care of.

I don't need a government to take care of me. I always have taken care of myself. If you on the other hand can not take care of yourself, and you need someone else to do it for you, I can then understand why you like big government.
