Governments are out of control, irresponsible, never have enough money, never tighten their own belts, and when they are forced to, they always threaten to shut down police departments and teachers and all these things.

Our government is deeply disordered; its credit is impaired; its debt increasing; its expenditures extravagant and wasteful; its disbursements without efficient accountability; and its taxes (for duties are but taxes) enormous, unequal, and oppressive to the great producing classes of the country.

Government is just spending too much money.

There is too much government today. We've got to remember the government should be by the people, of the people, and for the people.

Government is dysfunctional.

Is there any wonder why we are in such big trouble? Any question why the people don't trust their government anymore, and demand a change?

There is simply too much corruption, too much money available for the taking.

When a nation is over-reliant on one or two commodities like oil or precious minerals, corrupt government ministers and their dodgy associates hoard profits and taxes instead of properly allocating them to schools and hospitals.

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.

Government is too big and too important to be left to the politicians.
