hey while we're at it do away with a military to protect our nation, fire and police-fuck that, education for the kids, unecessary right? we dont want the bright enough to realize that the government managing certain things would be a good idea.
Minus the military and the FBI (to police crimes between states) everything else you keep listing off is the States job NOT the Federal government. I think if you read my statement i said the feds would make sure the states provides a infrastructure (passing laws like EPA, Car safety Standards, minimum education standards, etc) it is not the Federal governments job to pass morality laws and ideals to a whole country.
If a State wants to be more socialist and have health care, forced retirement programs, welfare programs because of the people, or if they want to pass no drug/drinking laws and anti prostitution laws because they are in the bible belt I am fine with that, it has listened to it's smaller demographic of people. I can always move States to the best suited to my beliefs or needs. Moving countries is far more difficult.
Pry I am a libertarian when it comes to the Federal government only. everyone keeps looking to the Federal governments to handle
everything because when that states try and change things that its peoples want (medical marijuana, raising the speed limit, lowering the drinking age) the feds then strongarm them into complying by withholding funding. When it comes to State politics i am more middle of the road.
