Are they? I'm not seeing it when the federal government can control what kind of lightbulb or toilet I am allowed to manufacture or buy, what the gas mileage on my automobile must be, refuse me the right to use my own property as I choose, confiscate any portion of my personal property they choose to take, dictate the kind of healthcare I am required to buy, and can launch a federal investigation of my activities just because I am accused of being politically incorrect.
And that's just the tip of the iceberg.
That's true. In the early 1800's the government wasn't big enough to pull off any of that. They could have made the laws but they would have been unable to enforce it.
