It is the duty of the state to take out that respective trash, whether it is foreign or domestic garbage. There are but two responsibilities for the state, protector and prosecutor. Any deviation from its responsibilities still requires that the state use its sole weapon. That is why our American forefathers articulated a vision of limited government. But we have turned our back on that legacy, and so far none of our political leaders can identify our political problems, let alone proscribe an appropriate remedy.
People are increasingly afraid of their government.
They should be. The government has made messianic promises that are becoming harder to keep. Special interests clamor for more. To keep the game going, the state is requiring greater amounts of our income. Despite this voracious appetite for more money, crime continues to grow at an exponential rate.
