If you had said: "Does the Federal Government have too much power?" The answer would be a clear and resounding HELL YES!!
Hundreds of regulatory agencies with hundreds of thousands of regulations that tells people how they must operate their own businesses, what they can or can't do with their own property, who they must associate with, or punish people if they don't run their businesses, associate with people they do not wish to associate, or use their property in the approved manner.
The we have the Infernal Revenue Service taking nearly 1/2 of our income, or more if you happen to be wealthy. Estate taxes stealing money that your parents or grandparents worked hard to pass on to you. Excise taxes tripling the cost of many items, especially liquor, and tobacco.
Overpowering police agencies prying into places they have no business, invading our privacy, and enforcing stupid laws that should never have been passed or should have been repealed long ago.
Hell yes! The Federal Government has too much power!!!
Why?
Because power corrupts, and absolute power corrupts absolutely. And our Federal Government has absolute power. 'Nuf said.
