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.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Parents don't need government to raise their kids. That's their job. But government can help them protect their children from influences they may not want their kids exposed to.
No government should ever be big enough to substitute for the family.
When government grows, it breaks the family.
You can't have a limited government if the family breaks down.
Government does not create wealth. The major role for the government is to create an environment where people take risks to expand the job rate in the United States.
Sometimes people need a kick in the pants to get them to do what they would be doing if government weren't there as a perpetual parent.
There are no adequate substitutes for father, mother, and children bound together in a loving commitment to nurture and protect. No government, no matter how well-intentioned, can take the place of the family in the scheme of things.
Government has a rightful role, but not an excessive role, to play.
The family is the first economy. If the family breaks down, well, government gets bigger because of the consequences of family breakdown. We see in the neighborhoods where there are no marriages and there are no two-parent families.
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.
