Reliance on government is ALWAYS the wrong life philosophy.

Governments create negative and unintended consequences, catastrophes, injustices and problems for citizens.

This is one of the main reasons the US is being dismantled as a constitutional republic - too many citizens relying on government in various ways. Such reliance leads to abdication of personal responsibility by people, and growing seizure of power by the government - which is exactly the condition the US is in today.

Abraham Lincoln: “We the people are the rightful masters of both Congress and the courts, not to overthrow the Constitution but to overthrow the men who pervert the Constitution.”

Ronald Reagan: “Government does not solve problems; it subsidizes them."

Martin Luther King, Jr: “We must learn that passively to accept an unjust system is to cooperate with that system, and thereby to become a participant in its evil.”

Ron Paul: "We have depended on government for so much for so long that we as people have become less vigilant of our liberties."

Thomas Sowell: "The Constitution cannot protect us unless we protect the Constitution."

Thomas Payne: "The greatest tyrannies are always perpetrated in the name of the noblest causes."

The state exists to exploit the people. Their safety is only assured as long as they still possess something worth exploiting.
