Its legitimate purposes don't including telling us how to live, confiscating and redistributing our earnings to other people or causes, or intervening in the internal affairs of distant nations.
Under the leadership of both major parties, our federal government has grown grotesquely large, has become far too invasive in our daily lives, has failed to live within its means, and now poses the biggest threat to our personal liberty. Making it smaller in almost every way, so that it better adheres to its original limited purposes, is how we begin to dig ourselves out of the financial and cultural messes the two parties have created for us.
