Reducing the size of government; how to go about it?

[Slutter McGee]

It is sad. This was a great thread. It could have brought about healthy and constructive debate, and possibly new ideas. But all anyone cares about is if Beck is a neo-con or not.

So Silly. So Sad.

Thanks for mentioning Thirty-Thousand.org (TTO). Please read these two articles.

"Political Monopoly Power" by Walter Williams. Note what he says about representational enlargement and Thirty-Thousand.org.

"Freedom and Legislative District Sizes" by me.

And listen to Lew Rockwell's podcast interview of Dr. Mark Thornton.

And make every vote by roll call!

The ‘ABC Poll/Cato’ thread got me thinking; what are some realistic ways to go about reducing the size of government? Where do we start?

Buy gold and silver with your money. That calls in all the real money off of fake lottery tickets called dollars.

When a generous gold and silver is depleted from central banking and in the hands of the people the government will be forced economically to shrink.

I read a clever signature line the other day that goes something like, “Either you believe people are inherently bad and they need government to make things fair, or you believe…”???

I hope I haven't butchered it beyond recognition. It was a helpful thought and I would like to read it again - I should have written it down!

The only way to shrink state and federal government its to take back your home county.

Starving the beast (massive amounts of people refusing to pay taxes) or violent revolution are the only ways that I can think of.

The "beast" can't be starved. Not having money has not slowed increases in spending. You might have noticed what has been happening with both the debt and deficit.

Get on your LOCAL budget committees. Get on your LOCAL school board. At the same time getting people elected into state senate and federal positions. Go from the bottom up.
