Washington, D.C., will never voluntarily relinquish its own power, no matter who is elected. The only rational conclusion is this: unless some political force outside of Washington, D.C., intervenes, the federal government will continue to bankrupt this nation, embezzle the legitimate authority of the states, and destroy the liberty of the people. We see four major abuses against the people by the federal government. These abuses are not mere instances of bad policy. The federal government has been subjecting us to "soft tyranny" in which the government does not (yet) shatter all men's wills but regularly "softens, bends, and guides" them. If we do nothing to halt these abuses, we run the risk of becoming nothing more than "a flock of timid and industrious animals, of which the government is the shepherd." (Alexis de Tocqueville, Democracy in America, 1840)
