The ONLY Legitimate Reason for Government

You would think this would be widely understood...

You would think it would be universally understood that the only LEGITIMATE reason for any government is to protect the life, liberty and property of the people who FORM the government. Reading the Declaration of Independence makes it quite clear as well as reason, logic and common sense. What I cannot do to my neighbor cannot be delegated to someone in government to do. When the Federal, State and local governments violate these just principles they violate natural law which is understood by most everyone who can think. However, due to the nature of man these governments are continually throughout history used to plunder the common man because it is easier for those in the government to plunder than to actually labor and produce something or offer a viable service.

We in the United States like to consider ourselves free, and in the process even though the government takes up to 40% of our labor per year, we don't call it slavery, we call it freedom. Though the government may demand a fee from you so that you can add an addition onto your property, we don't call that slavery, we call it freedom. Though the government may decide what size magazine or length barrel or style of rifle or pistol you may own, we don't call that slavery, we call it freedom. When the government decides how much water can be flushed through your toilet, we don't call that slavery, we call that freedom. When the government can tell us who we can or can not marry, who we can or can not associate with we don't call that slavery, we call that freedom. When they can decide who to invade and use us as their soldiers by utilizing a draft, we don't call that slavery, we call that freedom. At birth we are issued birth certificates that are utilized in interstate commerce as surety against a debt we had nothing to do with and they issue us serial numbers at birth, AKA Social Security numbers, but we don't call that slavery, we call that freedom. I LOVE BEING FREE!

What would it be like to be a SLAVE? Oh, that's right, you have to have VISIBLE chains to be a slave. Invisible ones don't count. As we repeat the mantra of the caged parrot, I'm free, I'm free, we must convince ourselves that our captors have our best interest in mind. As they always have throughout history. Yea, right. Add to the list of all the things we call FREEDOM that are in reality SLAVERY to our minds, bodies and souls in the comments below. WHEN THE GOVERNMENT VIOLATES THE LAW, THERE IS NO MORE LAW, JUST A FIGHT FOR SURVIVAL. ~Courageous Lion
