The American taxing structure, the purpose of which was to serve the people, began instead to serve the insatiable appetite of government.

Thanks to big government, we have significantly less of all of those good things than we would if we had been able to keep government right-sized. Big government is cancerous. Like a cancer, it hurts the body and tends to spread, doing more and more harm as it grows. It is time for some radical surgery.

George Leef
