But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security."
This is quoted from the American Declaration of Independence.
A patriot must always be ready to defend his country against his government.
Edward Abbey
If a politician found he had cannibals among his constituents, he would promise them missionaries for dinner.
Henry Louis Mencken (1880-1956)
CAPITAL, n. The seat of misgovernment. That which provides the fire, the pot, the dinner, the table and the knife and fork for the anarchist; the part of the repast that himself supplies is the disgrace before meat.
Ambrose Bierce (1842-1914)
It is not the function of the government to keep the citizen from falling into error; it is the function of the citizen to keep the government from falling into error.
U.S. Supreme Court Justice : Robert H. Parker
To compel a man to subsidize with his taxes the propagation of ideas which he disbelieves and abhors is sinful and tyrannical.
Thomas Jefferson
The highest patriotism is not a blind acceptance of official policy, but a love of one's country deep enough to call her to a higher plain.
George McGovern
Political language is designed to make lies sound truthful and murder respectable, and to give an appearance of solidity to pure wind.
George Orwell
The government is merely a servant — merely a temporary servant; it cannot be its prerogative to determine what is right and what is wrong, and decide who is a patriot and who isn't. Its function is to obey orders, not originate them.
Mark Twain
Loyalty to the country always. Loyalty to the government when it deserves it.
Mark Twain
"Wise Men Speak Because They Have Something To Say But Fools Speak Because They Have To Say Somethin"
Guard against the impostures of pretended patriotism.
George Washington
Some the best men in history thought the people should be in control. Now the politicians have corrupted the government so much they now truely believe they are now our boss and we are their peons!

Um, yeah. The government should be in control. But if you don't think so, give me your address and I'll come rob your house when you're out and you won't have to call the police because they're employed by the government.

The people should be in control.
If we would ban together and vote out the dead wood and continually change the ones that do not do as "The people" want then the people would be running the country again.

If you're asking about healthcare I say no. They have mis-appropriated too many tax payers dollars as it is. They use our money to fund too many entitlement programs. This is done to buy votes from special interests.
