Good point, Joker.
The Fed says,
"We take your money. If you jump through the hoops that we set up for you, we give you your money back."
ENORMOUS scam . . . and in broad daylight, no less.

Taxation. The feds over charge on things like gas taxes and then doesn't give the money to the states that don't "obey" Bush. They do this with money for education, medical and I'm sure many other things I don't know about.. But it has certainly increased it by taking away our civil liberties and the masses seem to think it is not a big deal.
Google "total information awareness".

hire a greater number of all of it's citizens..
say if they raised an Army of volunteer citizens along the lines of what happened after December 7th 1941 in the USA
military law is not an infringement on liberty or privacy with it's citizenery working towards a mutually dependent purpose.
protecting freedoms is not diminishing freedoms.

Obviously, you've been studying politics in a vacuum.
How many governments have increased their power through conquest of other nations, ripping off natural resources, labor, and creating colonies?
It's been a long time since John Locke.

Well the left side believes in bigger government and more government power over the citizens, even tho they are pretending right now that they do not, all it takes is to read between the lines when they are on the campaign trail and doing all them side stepping of questions and listening to their speeches. This is bad for this nation.

If government authority is aimed for the good of the people then it rarely tramples upon anyone's rights accept for the rights of the rich and greedy and political expedients.

Other than gaining the people's consent to take away said rights, I'd say no.
