But without a caring society, without each citizen voluntarily accepting the weight of responsibility, government is destined to grow even larger, taking more of your money, burrowing deeper into your lives.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Government works less efficiently when it begins to grow out of control and takes on more and more of the responsibilities that belong to the citizens.
When the people become involved in their government, government becomes more accountable, and our society is stronger, more compassionate, and better prepared for the challenges of the future.
In a free society, government reflects the soul of its people. If people want change at the top, they will have to live in different ways. Our major social problems are not the cause of our decadence. They are a reflection of it.
To give aid to every poor man is far beyond the reach and power of every man. Care of the poor is incumbent on society as a whole.
As Americans, we don't see the role of government as guaranteeing outcomes, but allowing free men and women to flourish based on their own vision, their hard work and their personal responsibility.
A society that has more justice is a society that needs less charity.
Every time the government grows we lose more of who we are.
The very existence of government at all, infers inequality. The citizen who is preferred to office becomes the superior to those who are not, so long as he is the repository of power, and the child inherits the wealth of the parent as a controlling law of society.
Why is it is claimed that if people won't or can't take care of their own needs, that people in government can do it for them?
There is a role for government, but no matter how much money the government spends, it will never be able to take the place of parents and strong families.
