The conservative Republican commentator in D.C. opines about today's 236th Independence Day in America: "The question we, as Americans, need to ponder this Fourth of July is what the Founding Fathers really wanted for America? If more Americans pondered this simple question every year, we would have a better understanding of why our nation and the men who founded it remain great across the globe."
Mr. Williams continues his commentary about the Founding Fathers: "We must also keep in mind that the part of the Founders’ vision was not for a welfare state reliant upon the government. The Founders wanted nothing to do with anything resembling a monarchy. Power was not to be given to one entity to rule over the rest of the country. What the Founders envisioned was a limited government that would provide essential services to the people, but most decisions would be for the people to make for themselves. If the Founders saw the size and shape of our current government and how much it taxes us, they would probably be rolling in their graves."
