What I expect from our government is to provide the basic framework of infrastructure and laws to ensure the potential for prosperity for all Americans. This government must understand that it exists only so long as it has, and responds to, the will of the citizens. I further expect:
.....A strong and well-equipped military to protect America's interests both at home and abroad.
.....An expectation that our leaders will use the military to project power in our best interests anywhere
.....A civilian force that insures order, and protects (by force if necessary) the integrity of our borders.
.....A judicial system that is sworn to administer our laws without ideological bias in any way.
.....An end to Federal involvement in public education.......this is the function of the community.
.....An end to entitlement programs to assist the poor that are without strict lifetime time limits.
.....An end to "career politicians" by institution of term limits on all elected offices
.....A regulatory environment that protects citizens, but does not impede free enterprise and entrepreneurship
.....A regulatory environment that promotes maximizing the use of our natural resources, where ever they are
Lastly, and most importantly, a return to the enumerated rights expressed in our Constitution, and in the expressed works of our founders, ergo, there is no right not to be offended, no right to health care, no right to housing, or a "living wage", there is no right to be married (regardless of gender inconsisancies), no right to a free education, and no right to any lifestyle enhancements at the expense of any other citizen regardless of how "rich" that other citizen might be.
And perhaps most important to me......I expect the government to leave me to hell alone.......I can take care of myself and my family.......thank you very much........
