It’s becoming ever more difficult to find something in our lives that the U.S. government doesn’t dictate.
It regulates our workplace, our healthcare, our education, our ability to defend ourselves, and even the type of people we can marry.
It taxes our homes, our incomes, our purchases. It decides whether we are fit to raise our children, and takes them away if it finds us lacking. Even if we are dying, we can’t take potentially life-saving drugs without government permission.
Conversely, we can’t end our life either, even if we are suffering greatly.
Government decides if we are mentally competent; it can commit us and drug us against our will even if our families protest. Is this the “land of the free” or the “home of the slave”?
