The size of government needs to be cut. Over the years it has grown to meet the need to be more intrusive in our lives. We the people have let this happen by letting government into our bedrooms, hospital rooms, and churches by passing more laws that make the citizen more dependent on government.But right now 49% of the people in this country don't pay taxes and many are receiving entitlements from the government. What's gonna happen to this country when that number reaches 51%. These people will vote for the candidate that offers the most freebees. Then 49% of the working people will be paying higher taxes to pay for these increased entitlements. Then it will snowball because the working people will think "Why should I work when I can get things for Free!"So they quit work and collect entitlements. Then the percentage of people depending on the government will increase until the whole country is socialist. Entitlements need to be cut. I can't figure out why Jimmy Carter allowed immigrants that didn't pay into social security to collect benefits from it. They can start cutting social security right there.
