The Power Of Government Stops With Me

We have heard the scare before, “We are one election away from losing our independence and freedoms.” I dare say that fear has given way to probability.

We in this nation already suffer at the hands of an oppressive government; A government whose boot is on the very throat of the American peoples. These politicians plunder our accounts, steal our homes, corrupt our children, and hold hostage our natural resources. And as this election looms they promise even more.

There are clear limits to the powers of government, yet many do not seem to know what they are. It is simple. The power of the government is given it by the people. A person cannot grant to the government powers the individual himself does not possess.

We have the right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. We have the God given right to defend ourselves, our family and our property, as does our neighbor. My neighbors and I can agree to hire someone (such as a policeman) and grant to him the same powers we have, which is to protect our life, the life of our family and our property. We grant these powers so we can work or do things other than having to spend all of our time defending that which is rightfully ours.
