Government is our servant?

Ronald Reagan, in his second inaugural address, spoke about when the USA was “created two centuries ago when, for the first time in history, government, the people said, was not our master, it is our servant; its only power that which we the people allow it to have.  That system has never failed us, but, for a time, we failed the system. We asked things of government that government was not equipped to give. We yielded authority to the National Government that properly belonged to States or to local governments or to the people themselves.”  Think of how much further along we are today on that road to complete National Government control over our lives and property.
