If you mean make it as small as possible and only relegated to a role of providing a national defense, protecting lives, punishing criminals who slander, steal and harm people, and enforcing private property rights and settling disputes between two private parties and staying the frick out of its citizens lives?

Not exactly what I meant.. but I don't completely disagree with you either. IMO, hard working citizen's voices need to be heard.. but they aren't... why? cause only two major groups have the time to research(donate to campaign funds) and vote.... the super rich and the super poor.

That and the fact that politics are so fricking complicated the average hard working person doesn't know how to vote, even for their own best interest...

I've got a bunch of people I know that would love to receive health care they deserve for an affordable price, but will continue to vote republican cause they think they won't be able to buy a gun if they don't. It's sad really.
