That would be proper and common sense. Two items sadly lacking.

I believe it was Grover Cleveland that said, after there was a severe drought in Texas and congress proposed to help the starving families, "while the people support the government, it is not the government that should support the people. The good will of their neighbors and churches can support them much more efficiently than government". Of course this was in a time before we became a socialist country.
The sole purpose of government is to protect your liberty. The Constitution is not to restrict the people, but to restrict government.  Ron Paul

The two enemies of the people are criminals and government, so let us tie the second down with the chains of the constitution so the second will not become the legalized version of the first. - Thomas Jefferson

“Everyone wants to live at the expense of the State. They forget that the State lives at the expense of everyone.” — Frederic Bastiat
