Too Many Politicians Are Terrible Opportunists

Therefore Politicians Do Not Like Limited Small Government

This is one more profound reason to advocate and defend limited small government!

The reactions by politicians to the latest mass shootings by mentally ill male individuals provide ample evidence of this observation!

Good politicians instead resist the temptations of the moment and their ideological biases to serve the larger good!

The List Of Political Overreactions Is Very Long

Way too much federal legislation is driven by such opportunism. Here are just a very few examples of such irrational overreactions by big government:

·         Dodd Frank Act (2010)

·         ObamaCare Act (2010)

·         Sarbanes-Oxley Act (2002)

·         Gun Control Act (1968)

·         Medicare under the Social Security Act (1965)

·         Pure Food And Drug Act (1906)

The Silent Majority

One has to fear that such crass opportunism is part of the human condition. How much longer have free, responsible individuals to suffer from this?
