The role of government

The role of government should be simple!  Ensure the well being of its people and get the fuck out of the way! Unfortunately governments do not do that.  Governments assume the role of a guardian and they believe that unless they get deeply involved in our lives we will not make it.  Bull Shit!  Governments’ job is basic in that they should provide security and the framework/facilitation for job creation.  The guardian mentality trickles down to government employees as well. Some people working in government fail to realize that their job is to facilitate citizen requests and ensure that the government responsibilities towards its people are carried out. As a result, citizens, public employees, and the institution of government should work in accord to benefit a nation and its individual inhabitants. Most fail miserably in this quest!
