Small enough that income taxes are unnecessary.
Big enough to do the stuff,the constitution says.
Nothing else.
So small.... that I don't ever:
Receive any communication from them ever again
Don't have to fill out ANY paperwork for them ever again
Don't have to hand over a fraction of my labor to them ever again
Have to do anything ever again under the threat of violence...
Here, here! 👍🇺🇲
It should be small enough that tax payers are not lining the pockets of so-called "Civil servants" and small enough that so-called "Civil servants" are not making millions of dollars when they get paid ..nothing close to a million.....
There should be 546 people in government. Everyone else can go.
President, VP, 100 Senators, 435 Congresspeople, 9 Supreme Court Justices (can be less honestly)
During elections this can balloon to nearly double with 538 electors.
That’s a constitutionally accurate government.
Electors are unpaid by the government. Maybe the political party that they’re supposed to vote for might give them a stipend, but it’s basically a voluntary position that requires only an hour or two on one day if your candidate wins your state. I was a potential elector for a 3rd party candidate that got on the ballot in my state.
If I can see it with an electron microscope it's still too big. Any actual government we need can be handled locally. Defense (including immigration and border security) may be the only exception to that.
Looking at the US from the outside, I see all 50 states running themselves quite successfully. OK, some central influence is required for, say, crime that crosses state boundaries.
The US also needs a Military. However, estimates of Federal personnel range from 4 million to 10 million if you include all the contractors. If the states can pretty much run themselves, why do you need another 10 million people on top?
Amen to this meme
