People are so docile right now. It is almost as if good government means when the politicians lie to us for our own good, for the public good, and bad government is when politicians lie for their own selfish interests.
The more expansive government is, the more perils people face in daily lives, be it from IRS agents or from child support services, or from other agencies that often have little or no legal restraints on their power.
If an election is simply a one-day snapshot of transient mass delusions, then this is not a very noble form of government.
The Federal Government is exploiting public fear to redefine the relationship between the rulers and the American people.
Ever since I came to Congress in 1992, there are those who have been trying to silence my voice. I've been told to 'sit down and shut up' over and over again. Well, I won't sit down and I won't shut up until the full and unvarnished truth is placed before the American people.
In general, I found that the more that debates can be about facts and data, the more likely government is to make sound decisions that benefit innovators and the American people.
I wish we could get a national buddy network going. It would be a great thing for the American people.
Politicians as a class are dangerous, that people who are seeking power over us are not, by definition, our friends.
