Back to 2012, Nationalreview published the critique of Michael Tanner, named "Because Angels don't govern us", talked about the US government governs the society.
Michael Tanner is the Senior Fellow in Cato Institute, a book author, researches into a variety of domestic policies, with an emphasis on poverty and social welfare policy, health care, and Social Security and entitlement reform.
In 2012, he posted his criticism on blog National review about what he thinks about how the US government governs us. In this article, the US government always believed that they always thought that they were the right one and anything they did, any policy they promulgated was good for the people in this society.
Let’s recall what happened in 2012. In 2012, the president was Barack Obama and the popular event happened that Obama conducted the health insurance obligation to every people, because “the Obama administration believes that the government should run our health-care system”. Do you think everyone agrees to comply with that policy? They have to and have to comply with it, it doesn’t matter they like it or they don’t. What if they didn’t follow the healthcare policy? They would get a penalty from their tax return annually.
According to Michael, he wondered that instead of being micromanagement system, why the government didn’t concern and solve the GSA or Secret Service scandals, looked through the bigger picture about economic issues or financial banking industry, housing market. They showed us that they were like the rest of us, affected by failures and corruptions. Michael also pointed out that if the individual made mistakes, these mistakes just impacted to that individual. The business made mistakes, the business would take that responsibility. But if the US government made mistakes, all of us would be affected and all of us would be the one who took that responsibility with them.
Michael also recalled what the Founding Father had understood the citizens, that’s why they insisted that “the government is necessary to protect our rights to “life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness” and they wrote the Declaration of Independence”. However, the current US government were doing different things.
Michael named the title of this article “Because Angels don’t govern us”, but he believed that the US government really governs us and overreach the power. So, according to Michael, what do you think that who did the US government represent?
