You don't like the Government telling anyone what to do. Except when it's in your benefit.

I don't think the govt. was ever intended by the founding fathers to have any reach into our personal lives, but over the years it has grown to the point where the Federal Govt. affects almost EVERY aspect of our lives.

They certainly had an opinion on what Black people did. And yes they did want to rule, that's what politicians do.

That's just the way I see it. The reason for the constitution of the United States is to LIMIT the Federal Govt.
If people think the govt. should not be limited by that document...then we as a nation should vote to eliminate it and completely re-write it.
I mean...where does it end? The govt. can decide what you can and can't put in your body (I can't imagine what George Washington would make of that). The govt. forces you to buy health insurance at outrageous prices. The govt. in all forms (local, state, property tax, sales tax, and federal) taxes us at over 50% of the money we make.
The list goes on and on.
I know I'm just ranting, but it does seem to me that it's out of control.
I DO think Trump can revive the economy. I just don't agree with creating another Soviet Union style "Berlin Wall" on the border of the United States.
That's just my personal opinion.
I'm not saying that I and I alone am correct like the faux-liberals on GFY with their matter-of-fact pronouncements and "settled science" bullshit. lol
I'm just giving my own point of view.

You have a very strange POV. If the Government didn't control what was put into your body, companies would be allowed to sell you anything.
Trump will bankrupt the US. He will most certainly put up prices in shops, so the general public will be buying less.
The reason health insurance is so expensive has nothing to do with government. Big business has rigged the US system to the benefit of shareholders. Bring down those prices and your insurance drops. Have a Government run Health Service and prices will plummet.
Maybe get Government off the Internet so Net Neutrality becomes a thing of the past. Then see how you like being cared for by big business. And can give you a huge list of where we ned more Government protection from big business, but you wouldn't agree.
