Big Government is Amoral

 
The most important foundation of morality is to reject initiation of force.

We may not use force or coercion on any individual or group, unless through their actions they have violated the rights of another individual or group.

Ours is a nation founded upon the rule of law. If people wish to accomplish things they must set out to use peaceful means. It is not the place of government to make people act in a moral fashion. Government may only restrain individuals from injuring one another, leaving them otherwise free act in the marketplace.

Big Government undermines this most basic precept.

It’s leaders campaign by promising to enacts laws and regulations that take from some people and give to others through force. It encourages the use of politics to achieve one’s objectives, and in doing so legitimizes force as a means of persuasion. People who would never resort to holding their neighbors up at gunpoint, come to believe that it moral for government to do anything, so long as it’s done democratically.

Once that moral line is crossed, any atrocity can be justified through the will of the people.
