It makes absolutely no sense to me that a nation is (slowly) allowing marijuana to be openly used, but (the government) wants to take our defenses (guns) away. It's ok to self-medicate, but not defend our property and loved ones?
It makes absolutely no sense to me that my kids can start any sort of group at their school, as long as it's not a Bible Study.
It makes absolutely no sense to me that the state/city I live in allows (frequent) naked bicycle rides, but is against building a casino/entertainment center.
It makes absolutely no sense to me that people want to ban guns, but will pay for violent movies and video games.
It makes absolutely no sense to me that the ones who are the biggest advocates of gun control are the same people who benefit most by gun protection through body guards (or Secret Service.)
It makes absolutely no sense to me that a government can expect it's citizens to budget until it hurts, but it can't agree on a budget.

Just the beginning
Nancy Pelosi was recently recorded saying the government isn't done increasing our taxes (paraphrasing here.) If you were paying attention to the intentions of the government, you would not be surprised at this. Of course they start by sugar coating the beginning round by "taxing the rich." Then they will come back and say, "that didn't cover the costs of the government, so we need to tax the middle class." That still won't be enough, so they will hit the lower class. Then the cycle will start all over again.
The government is addicted to other people's money. Just like a drug addict, it will never be enough. They will be nervously looking everywhere to find a different way to get access to our funds. One example of this is "Obamacare." The Supreme Court couldn't even decide if we would be fined or taxed, according to the wording of the original document. (If you ask me, a fine collected by the IRS is a tax.)
People really need to look at history. This is exactly what monarchies would do. Start with the top, only to discover it didn't cover their greed. Then they'd hit the next class down, until every citizen is taxed to revolution. Taxes are what prompted the Boston Tea Party, before the United States declared its' independence from Great Britain.
While you are refreshing your memory in the history files, you might want to look at the outcome of every Socialist Society.

Modern day slavery
"Modern Day Slavery" When these words are said, most think "third world countries" or dictatorships, but certainly not the United States. Most think "Freedom!" when talking about the US. Sadly, the larger the government becomes the smaller our freedoms are. I believe Ronald Reagan even is quoted stating something similar.
Think about it: a slave owner expects production from it's slaves. The US government expects a portion, that is becoming larger and larger, from what we earn. If the slaves are lucky, they reap a few of the benefits of the owner. In today's world, a good comparison would be Social Security, Unemployment (payments) and as of 2014, health care.
A slave owner controls what the slaves own, as well as their actions. The government is slowly controlling more and more of what we do and have. An east coast city's mayor has even put into law the limitation of what size of soda can be purchased. There are even school's that dictate what a child can bring in his/her lunch box. The types of energy we used are controlled by the taxes attached to the energy (think coal industry,) so it becomes less attractive to use. These are just small examples, but it's just a beginning.
