I guess as I'm learning more and more, I'm coming to grips with the fact that we have many layers of unnecessary fat within our governments. And on the flip side of that, we have systems, initiatives that are underfunded, because we have such bloated governments.
When I think of small government, at least in an ideal scenario. I'm thinking of small enough to still be efficient, but allow no one to be lazy.
I'm completely OK with paying taxes, and have done so my whole adult life. What frustrates me is that the money gets used to finance wars, and things I don't want.
We are very like minded joe...
