What ever happened to states' rights and the free market economy?

Question

A system that puts the power in the hands of the people and away from Washington politicians and unfairly subsidized corporations. This country was set up as a republic of states so that people can govern themselves the way they choose rather than have a centralized government that requires everyone to be governed the same. The one-size-fits-all attitude that a lot of people seem to have is the root of why this country has become so politically polarized.

Problems don't get solved in Washington D.C. - they are created there.

Answer 1

Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid are working hard to destroy it in favor of central governmental control.  I believe they will not rest until we are taken over by the communists that remain in the world.  We are at a crossroads in this election, and it scares most of us to death that Nobama will win.  The US cannot continue on this path to liberalism and socialism (as if there were any difference between the two).  The greatest power to the people is the free market.  

Answer 2

State's Rights died in 1861 my friend.

Don't believe me? Open a history book.  When we attacked states that exercised their rights, we clearly made the statement that States' Rights were dead.
