As our federal government has grown too large and too powerful, the real loss has been the freedom of people to govern their own lives and participate fully in the American dream.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Every time the government grows we lose more of who we are.
We have lost that which has made us great over the generations, and that is the sense of individual and personal responsibility that we can come up, we can pursue our dreams and our aspirations and we won't be blocked by government regulation, by the inability to get a loan as a small business to make our dreams come true.
When more land is locked up by the federal government, real people suffer, and opportunities for future prosperity are reduced.
I'm saying the federal government is taking away the freedom of Americans to make choices.
In my lifetime, we have lost a President, a Civil Rights leader and a Presidential candidate - all to gun violence.
We are losing our living systems, social systems, cultural systems, governing systems, stability, and our constitutional health, and we're surrendering it all at the same time.
A lot of people are deeply dissatisfied by the diminishing control they have over their lives, because of the way our system of government is set up, to cater to the powerful, cater to the wealthy, cater to the corporations, and not to the individual American citizen.
The American Dream is about freedom.
The American dream is about freedom.
If our freedom is taken, the American dream will wither and die.
