Because that is not how our government was set up. The U.S. constitution was written specifically so that state and local governments should handle the vast majority of law-making decisions. Federal government was supposed to shoulder international issues, and the security of the nation in general...not to enforce stupid things like tags on mattresses (as an example).


Your opinion.



Perhaps the problem isn't with "government," it's with the people. The citizens have become more and more dependent on "Mother Government." They've become selfish and lazy. They've demanded more and more from it, and the selfish politicians have whored it all to them, in exchange for their vote. The real problem is with the doltish citizens, and the whores they elect to govern them.


Glad you're not in charge.
