Far too often, those in government give into the temptation to take responsibility and authority for things outside of their appropriate purview. In the past year, politicians have regulated businesses in ways that clearly violate basic principles of a free economy. Sweeping regulations restricting churches clearly violate our nation’s founding principles of religious freedom. Programs created by the state supplement or replace the role of parents in the lives of children. Mandatory injections currently challenge our medical freedom. We are constantly told the government has a vested interest in keeping us safe. We’ve been told that our government leaders have the right and the obligation to require us to do what they believe will keep us safe.
