When the arbitrary power of a distant and arrogant government is brought to heel, all Americans will benefit. As long as there is a sprawling national government to subsidize the ventures of corporate interests on the government dole, the rich will stay rich regardless of their tax bill. All the while, ordinary Americans and true entrepreneurs will groan under the weight of an ever-growing government. Cutting programs sounds great during a campaign, but the reality is that it rarely happens. It s just too much political trouble.
Bureaucratic agencies dig in their heels, and go all-out defending their programs.
Little ends up happening. Government programs don t need to be eliminated to cease functioning, though. They only need to be de-funded. When the IRS endured budget cuts in the mid-nineties, they had to scale back operations and eliminate the random audit program. Every time a departmental budget is cut, local sovereignty and freedom increases.
