Less Government

A believer in self reliance and empowerment I resent anyone especially the government telling me what to do or trying foster a dependency on government programs and entitlements. I believe everyone is responsible for their own happiness. Ben Franklin said it, "...I  observed in different countries that the more public provisions were made for the poor, the less they provided for themselves, and of course become poorer. And, on the contrary, the less was done for them , the more they did for themselves and become richer."

"The U.S. Constitution doesn't guarantee happiness, only the pursuit of it. You have to catch up with it yourself" Ben Franklin

The there is this quote, "The class of citizens who provide at once their own food and their own raiment, may be viewed as the most truly independent and happy." James Madison

Be free and independent. It is your life and personal living artwork. No one else can live your life for you.
