In a Capitalist country, the Government is not supposed to get involved in our individual personal lives. So then, why do we have a Department of Entertainment? How we entertain ourselves, is none of their business.
There are even new laws pertaining to a certain KIND of individual, giving them certain rights over and above everyone else. This is wrong. EVERYONE should be treated equally, no matter who they are, or what they've done.
There is such a thing as privacy. So why would we have a Federal Healthcare Program? What happens to patient/Doctor confidentiality once the Federal Government gets a hold of something? It is no longer private. Your body and your health should not be any of the government's business.
When the government goes INTO business, it would be in direct competition with their own citizens. Case in point, look how many Insurance companies went out of business, because of the government going into that same business. Look at the thousands of family's lives that were hurt. They were either put out of business because they were in direct competition with the government, or families who were happy with their own insurance company LOST it.
There are many other Departments that have no business being part of the government. What does the Department of Arts do? Sit around arranging flowers? Critiquing paintings?
The letter A has 37 Federal Agencies, Departments, and Administrations. Can you just imagine how many MORE there are? We are paying the taxes to pay for all that overhead and salaries. We need to get rid of them all... and get government OUT of our private lives.
