Reagan's libertarian rhetoric was better than his actual governance or his ability to derail or even downsize the speeding train of Big Government. But his complaint about government is truer than ever.
Behind virtually every major social problem, financial crisis or corruption scandal that afflicts us lies the heavy hand or leaden foot of government, which today in all its levels gobbles up more than 50 percent of our annual GDP and controls more of our lives than ever.
The list of current government fiascoes and crises is long and bipartisan.
A list of abuses and usurpations by our government which is reminiscent of the listing of charges against King George in the Declaration of Independence. Rebellion anyone?
