There are some of us who believe that the government or "Big Brother" as it is often called are too intrusive in our lives and then there are some who say that the government is not involved enough then there are some of us who believe that there shouldn't be a government at all I can't say who is right or who is wrong because it is all opinion all I can do is give my take and share how I feel about the subject so here we go I believe that the government is a very necessary tool for our society to exist as we know it there are so many things that fall under the government's jurisdiction that are very important and essential for our wellness I believe that there are some aspects of life that the government should not get involved in to but when I hear people complain about the government I always say "well did you vote? are you active on issues that mean something to you? those are the questions that you have to ask yourself because the people that you send or don't send to Washington depending on whether you voted or not are representative of the people that sent them there so if the majority of those people think and act the opposite of you then you will feel that way that the government is not representing the people when in actuality they are representing their constituents so if you don't like what you have been getting then get involved and force them to listen to you as much as you believe that you are powerless you are not you have a voice be vocal be passionate about what you believe in be a leader not a follower the government mandates a lot of things that keep us safe and healthy big business however does not but that is a whole different story even with a lunatic in the white house we can still voice our opinion and speak out against things that are detrimental to our way of life so to sum up my thought we need the government to regulate the many things that we use are very vital to our way of life and without it this country would be a much different place for us to live in.
