A democracy cannot exist as a permanent form of government. It can only exist until a majority of voters discover that they can vote themselves largess out of the public treasury.--Lord Woodhouselee

Americans Believe in Limited Government -- Even if Politicians Don't

Posted by Jeff Dircksen - October 30, 2006

This story from CNN on how a majority of Americas believe the government is doing too much concludes with this statement:
"Conservatives came to office to reduce the size of government and enlarge the sphere of free and private initiative," said Sen. John McCain, R-Arizona. "But lately, we have increased government in order to stay in office."
Too bad they didn't realize that until this week.
