[QUOTE="AlexDTX, post: 71739890, member: 377834"] I am currently reading a book by Eric Metaxes entitled with the famous phrase of Benjamin Franklin when asked what kind of government do we have. He answered, we have a republic, "If You Can Keep It." The debate between conservatives and liberals is not do we need government, but how big the government should be. Metaxes argues in his book that a small government envisioned by the founders of the constitution was dependent upon a moral and virtuous people who exercised self control. If people live honestly then the need of government is for disaster relief and other such things. The reason we don't have a small government is because Americans today are amoral and lack self control. [/QUOTE]
