The Framers of our Constitution strove to create a national government that was effective and powerful, but which did not infringe upon the rights of the individual, nor upon the powers of the states.
Through charter and design, our Founder's sought to ensure liberty, freedom and the pursuit of happiness. To achieve these marvelous things the framers promoted self-determination while limiting the role of Government in our private lives.
You might say that the Fathers of our country believed in the smallest government possible.
It seems to me that those who are seeking to tax people and businesses the most they possibly can in order to increase the size of the Federal Government and it's role in our lives are doing precisely the opposite of what the American Revolution was fought for.
To put some perspective on what I am saying, it helps to recall the famous Boston Tea Party which was masterminded by The Sons of Liberty. That key event which lead up to the American Revolution was triggered by a 3% tax on tea.
America feels like it is at a crossroads. Do we choose the Socialist vision that promises higher taxes, larger Federal government with a greater role in our lives? Or do we recall the vision that Founders risked it all for? That is fundamentally the choice that will be before us in 2020.
