[QUOTE="Char, post: 267460, member: 10877"] I agree it is the people that make government evil. Which is why the Constitution isn't so much a grantor of rights, but can be more accurately described as a restraint on government (particularly the size and scope of government). Which is why federal powers are specifically enumerated. Article 1 Section 8 for example, specifically spells out what Congress has the authority to raise money for. If you read it you will notice there is nothing in Article 1 Section 8 about raising funds for retirement, education, healthcare etc... Because Congress does raise funds for these programs it can be easily surmized that the federal government has siezed power from the states and the people (Amendment 10) along with their freedom thus taking steps from becoming a necessary evil to an intolerable evil.
