Because of Obamacare alone, I will lose over $400 a month in income (pretty much my entire above-expenses cushion) when my employer will be forced to drop my (and hundreds of other employees) hours worked below 30 so that they are not forced to waste their hard-earned (and slim) profit margins on nationalized (unconstitutional — I don’t care what those Supreme Court HACKS say) “healthcare”.

The only reason the Federal Government thinks they “need” more tax revenue, is because they are too damned stupid to function efficiently and there is NO accountability. Most of the Government agencies would FAIL to exist if they had to be self-sustaining as any other BUSINESS must do to stay open.

The U.S. Postal Service is a prime example of a Government agency who HAD the potential to be self-sustaining without external tax revenue, but couldn’t because of open market competition and better business practices by their free-market competitors. Their poor business practices against competing private companies are what is causing them to FAIL and they would have been completely eradicated a long time ago except for being propped up by federal tax dollars at OUR expense (just ANOTHER agency “too big to fail”? I say LET THEM FAIL and let me keep my money so I can spend it how I choose!).

Privatize ALL Government agencies (or make them ALL strictly supported on a volunteer-only basis) and see which ones we actually “need”. It won’t be many, that’s for sure, and the ones that rise above the rest do so because We The People either support it by volunteering our own labor and time or we actually CHOOSE which ones to support with our dollars, not via some so-called proxy “representation” of the entire constituency (what a JOKE). The latter just leads to heavy taxation to pay for crap we would never choose to pay for/fund with our own dollars and conscience.

This may have been a decent idea taking into consideration the population of America in 1776, but this nation has WAY too many people in it now to be “represented” by so few at the federal level.

Today, there is no longer a similar level of representation as there was at the founding, and as such, the balance of power that once existed is now in the hands of entirely too few politicians which cannot possibly represent the constituency with any degree of accuracy.

Am I saying we need more politicians? Scary to think, BUT if these “positions of power” were not paid positions but voluntary, and elected officials had to support themselves in other ways (via the private sector) than dipping their fingers in the federal tax pool, then yes, I think more politicians equalling more representation may be a good way to go.

Overall, I say, shrink Government spending while finding ways to keep it working more efficiently.

This is what any good business would do.
