Explanation / Answer

Actually I think the government has too much control, because they can choose what I can view or do on my own property. A government agency is a permanent or semi permanent organization in the machinery of government that is responsible for the oversight and administration of specific functions, such as an intelligence agency. I believe that the government has too much power to serve the American citizens.

I think that in our economy single firms can do things more efficiently than the federal government can. The best examples I will give is: The government produces goods and services, including roads and national defense. Less than half of federal spending is devoted to the production of goods and services. The government transfers income through both the tax system and outlays. Popular perception typically focuses on transfers across income classes through the progressive income tax system and means tested benefits, referred to as vertical redistribution. But vertical redistribution is dwarfed by horizontal redistribution, transfers unrelated to income class. The largest beneficiaries of transfers are the elderly, through programs such as Social Security. The government collects taxes, and that alters economic behavior. For instance, taxes on labor change the incentives to work, while taxes on specific goods such as gasoline, change the incentive to consume and produce those goods.
