Another blow for those who support big government happened today when the FBI arrested several New Jersey officials including state lawmakers, city officials, and school board members. The officials are accused of taking bribes for the awarding of public contracts. This is nothing new in our country or in any country with a large bureacracy that oversees thousands of regulations and billions of dollars of public funds. Instead, it should be a reminder of the waste and corruption that exists in the government. For the full story you can check out Foxnews, CNN, or USA Today.

So before you agree to hand over more control and more money to your government, ask yourself who is going to be the beneficiary of your money?
