Articles: So When Are We Allowed to Be Intolerant?: "The growth of government is phenomenal. Today, at the federal level, there are nearly twice as many people working for the government (22.5 million) as in all of manufacturing (11.5 million).

The danger of a growing government that it is paid for by fewer and fewer taxpayers. While it is true that government employees pay taxes, they seldom (if ever) pay enough taxes ($11,378 in 2008, calculated from Table 482, as an average for all taxpayers) to offset their salaries and benefits ($123,049 in 2009). At some point, this unsustainable fiscal model will collapse. "
