It is that many agencies perform functions that are not Federal responsibility. The founders delegated to the Government only strictly defined authority in Article I, Section 8, of the Constitution. Search the entire Constitution, and you will find no authorization for Congress to subsidize the arts, finance and regulate education or invest tax revenues in energy research.” ArtRealReasonGovernmentEnergyResponsibilityTaxesAuthorityResearchFunctionConstitutionCongressFinanceDefinedAgencyDepartmentArticlesFoundersEfficiencySectionsRevenueTaxpayersAbolishSection 8 Author:David Boaz

“We're born into a certain family, nation, class. But if we have no connection whatsoever with the worlds beyond the one we take for granted, then we too run the risk of drying up inside. Our imagination might shrink; our hearts might dwindle, and our humanness might wither if we stay for too long inside our cultural cocoons.
