Government must do less

Lao Tzu's words about government reflect an attitude of smaller is better. How do we do that?

Fewer agencies "protecting" us.
Fewer laws and regulations.
Fewer subsidies.
Fewer "free" services.
No welfare.
No unemployment.
No social security.
Term limits.
Lower taxes.

I don't know how to do this, how to reboot the USA, but I fear it must be done before there is a complete collapse.

  1. Man, I'd be all abord the Libertarian bandwagon if it weren't for the corporations, and the environment. For the first, I'd rather have a controlling government than a controlling corporation; at least the former is slightly democratic. But then, maybe you're right, and what we need is no more nanny state, to suffer under the corporate dictatorships, fight through with unions again, and come around that way.

    As for the environment, I think it's good and necessary to regulate what individuals and companies are allowed to put into the public water, the public air, and the land, which no one person owns forever. There are probably other issues like this that I support regulation for, but this is my own personal crusade, so to speak, and what I focus on.
