"The natural progress of things is for liberty to yield and government to gain ground," wrote Thomas Jefferson.
Is Big Government inevitable? Are we stuck with Big Government?
"You can't fight city hall," say some.
A few countries have altered or reformed their governments. Not one has removed Big Government and replaced it with small government.
No society, no civilization, no people has ever succeeded in making government small.
Wouldn't you like America to be the first?
The challenges are great, and the obstacles large. But we have a choice. Every voter has a choice.
We can choose small government. We show others the benefits of small government. We can campaign and vote to make government small.
Our votes determine our destiny.
The alternatives to voting small government
Americans have voted Big Government for decades. Those votes gave politicians a green light to expand Big Government.
Many say, "hold your nose and vote" for the "lesser of two evils". These "lesser evils" usually turn out to be just as Big Government as their opponents.
Even when they are slightly "lesser evils", they vote to increase government spending, amass huge government debts, hike taxes, and expand failed, destructive Big Government Programs. Their feign attempts to "hold the line on government" quickly give way to votes for bigger budgets - and more Big Government.
If you vote for Big Government politicians and policies, your vote will not be interpreted as being for the lesser of two evils. Rather, your vote will be seen as an endorsement of Big Government - whether you meant it that way or not. The "lesser evil" politician who campaigns on sustaining or expanding Big Government will use your vote as justification for sustaining and expanding Big Government
A vote for a Big Government politician aids and abets Big Government. A vote for Big Government gives you Big Government.
Today a majority of Americans don't vote at all. Many are not even registered to vote.
If you want small government but refuse to vote, you give Big Government votes more weight. You play right into the hands of Big Government advocates who want nothing more than for you to give up and stay home - so that elections are determined solely by Big Government supporters.
Non-voting will not be interpreted as rejection of the Big Government choices on the ballot. Rather, it will be portrayed as apathy or acceptance of Big Government. Politicians will use your abstention to raise taxes and increase spending.
Every alternative to voting small government is counter-productive. Every alternative to voting small government makes Big Government bigger. Read More
