Freedom? Where?

I wrote this article this morning. It will appeal to some, others will not like it at all. Please try it out and let me know your assessment of it.

When writing the laws of the land or regulations, they are, I believe, deliberately written in such a way as to force study upon those who want to read them as opposed to writing them clearly with simple understanding. They do not WANT us reading the laws because we may find a LOT OF unconstitutional stuff within them.
Take welfare: the goal is SUPPOSEDLY to help people. What it DOES, on the other hand, is insure the recipients's failure in life. Once on welfare it is hard, and sometimes undesireable, to get off of. Those receiving welfare checks are DEPENDENT on government; ergo contribute to the growing bloated government, all in the name of HELPING PEOPLE.
I could go on and on but don't want to lose you in a briar bush of words. ;-)
We were supposed to be self governed but the politicians no longer fear the people. They have usurped much. I understand your frustration with the abuse of language, but believe we require a minimal amount of governance. But no more than Rand proposed... certainly no more than our nation was founded on.
