I’ve been saying for a while that while folks tiptoe around government, and are afraid to even speak their mind about it, and what it’s doing that the founders specifically said what the purpose of government is.  We all memorize these words, “We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their creator with certain unalienable rights, that among these are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.”  

But the very next sentence is ignored by most folks.  And it’s critically important.  Our founders created for us a government similar to what they described.  “That to secure these rights, governments are instituted among men deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed.”
