Data Point: Americans Believe American Government Has Too Much Power

by

WASHINGTON, D.C. — A 54% majority of Americans say the federal government has too much power, while 39% say it has about the right amount of power and 6% say too little. These figures have generally been stable throughout the Donald Trump and Joe Biden presidential administrations. Since 2005, no less than 50% of Americans have said they believe the federal government is too powerful, with some of those readings reaching 60%.

I’m in the 54% category, I think that the 39% aren’t paying attention, and I have NO idea what that totalitarian 6% is thinking. How MUCH more Government do they want?  Or better, how much do they really think they NEED?  DO “they” need it or are they thinking more that those of us in the 54% and 39% have to be controlled MORE than we are already?

After all, the Declaration of Independence laid out what the primary role and responsibility of government are supposed to be: protecting our Liberty.  Look at it this way – The Bigger the Government, the smaller the citizen. The smaller the citizen, in making our own decisions for ourselves, means far less Liberty exists.

Are they all for what the Chinese Social Credit system is doing to its subjects? And what the World Economic Forum (e.g, the Davos elite) want to do in the Great Reset and replace our current social contracts (the DoI and our Constitutions) with what is best for them (after all “owning nothing and being happy about it” isn’t very Liberty oriented, is it?).

    Co-founder of GraniteGrok, my concern is around Individual Liberty and Freedom and how the Government is taking that away. As an evangelical Christian and Conservative with small "L" libertarian leanings, my fight is with Progressives forcing a collectivized, secular humanistic future upon us. As a TEA Party activist, citizen journalist, and pundit!, my goal is to use the New Media to advance the radical notions of America's Founders back into our culture.
