Somalia also has "limited government". Somalia is not "no government". Please study Somalia's "limited government" on why "limited government" is such a failed concept.
The constitution already allows for a strong, centralized federal government, with the interstate commerce clause designed to bring more government intervention into private businesses.
It is designed to direct the economy, a planned economy.
Let's make sure to keep it that way. We now have nationalized health care, we need more federal control.
Housing and Education are also good candidates for centralized control by the federal government.
The more government intervention, the better.
If it wasn't for that, private corporations would be out-of-control and otherwise terrorize the population.
We need more government control, since government spending results in more spending within the US compared to consumer spending.
Freedom just means more corporate control, and the resulting export of money to foreign countries through corporations incorporated in foreign countries and shareholders in foreign countries.
Government doesn't have shareholders in foreign countries.
Also, the money that "they earn" is never their own.
People don't earn money on their own. They earn it with cooperation of government that designed a system to enable a person to earn that bit of money in the first place.
The money that "they earn" is just one step of a much larger system where the public is expected to pay back into the system that allowed them to earn money in the first place.
Remember, without a proper system of government that is designed to encourage spending, you would not be able to earn money in the first place.
The third choice of "limited government" never works, and only leads to tragic outcomes, because to put it simply: the public is incapable of making decisions on their own that benefit society.
Right now, if you give the public more money, they will simply send it to China or Saudi Arabia.
We need government to spend the public's money in a focused manner, that the public would NOT do on their own.
Government is what determines economic direction, not the public.
Somalia has "limited government". Somalia is also a failure. We don't want to be like Somalia.
We need more socialism and government control, not less.
Government needs to be expanded and be given more control, let's make sure we give them more power tomorrow.
Because if it wasn't for "government interference", we'd have burned through all the world's oil supply on silly jet cars./encourages more "government interference"

Also, I didn't see the part where you explain how a carpenter would make his salary without a hammer?
Go on and explain how you feel a carpenter would make his salary without a hammer.
Society created government, but government created the rich person's income.
Do you think there would be more rich people under a Somalia-style "limited government"?
Yes. Government is the basic foundation of society, and everything derives from it.
You know that copyrights and patents are government-granted monopolies, right?
No.
The higher wage person got his high wage BECAUSE of government.
The system of government that makes sure copyrights, patents, legal agreements, etc, are valid, is the reason he has a high wage.
The higher-wage person is therefore more dependent on government.
A poor person couldn't give a flying fuck about all that excess.
Unfortunately, libertarians are the real-life trolls.
Nobody accepts their viewpoints, as they largely represents people that are widely ridiculed, such as the tea-partiers.

To make it clearer to you why the high-wage person is much more dependent on government, it is because of government that he has a high wage.
Do you think he would have the same high wage if his government was Somalia? Case closed.
The evidence is in the salary itself.
The high wage person is much more dependent on government.
You need to learn to accept NPR as fact.
NPR defines reality.
Anything funded by George Soros is the BEST source.
Reality has a liberal bias.
No. Competition is what MAKES monopolies.
The lack of competition IS a monopoly.
Government is a monopoly.
Fortunately, government's interest is the public's interest.
Meanwhile, a private company doesn't have a public interest. They should not be allowed to have monopolies through competition.
Remember, a person that only makes $15,000 a year uses less government than a person that makes $300,000 a year.
Government is a tool for wealth. People that make more money, use more government. That is what all those millions of laws are for, for rich people.
You know that Arizona immigration law? It was written by millionaires that own prison businesses: http://topics.npr.org/article/0eWt7HBbjtbJX?q=NPR
If you make a million dollars from government, you should pay government a million dollars.
The ISS, or the LHC, or any other major research project wasn't built with competition in mind.
Competition is a bad thing, not a good thing. It results in monopolies, since the whole point of competition is to eliminate competitors.
Why would you want monopolies?
We need more government control, since government spending results in more spending within the US compared to consumer spending.
Freedom just means more corporate control, and the resulting export of money to foreign countries through corporations incorporated in foreign countries and shareholders in foreign countries.
Government doesn't have shareholders in foreign countries.
More people want to be like france than want to be like somalia.
Therefore, a massive government is better than a "limited government".
Remember, DON'T BE LIKE SOMALIA, with their silly "limited government".
Probably the biggest benefit of the ISS is the ability to be a stopping point for manned travel to other moons/planets.

they found out all the elements that made up the booster rocket?
I've always wanted to create an instruction manual/website/makefile on how to make a computer if you were suddenly stranded in a desert island.

Light Peak will also include copper wiring for power.
All it'll take for USB to go away is for Apple to remove it from their computers, and everyone else will follow.
Are you sure about the 100% chance of dying?
I haven't died.
