Want a better quality of life? Try more responsibility and less government.

Here's a recent video from the 10th Amendment Center:

Many of us, after years of indoctrination at our government schools, were left with a sense that there is a great government force working hard every day to protect us and look after our best interest.

The result of all of this? Americans everywhere drive more carelessly, do not research what they put on their plate and take medications that leave them sicker, rather than healthier.

In brilliant Soviet-style fashion, the powers granted the FDA have passed through the Senate, at least, in what seems to be a bloodless coup.
