Liberty really is important. We might want to solve problems and improve things for others, but...
...but that is too often done with other people's money, i.e., forced charity.
It is better to preserve our freedom to use our own resources, so we can do good in the ways we see fit, free of so much government regulation and hampering.
Of course there is an important role for government.
In studying the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution we see that there should be limits on federal power. The history of that time illustrates why.
Not every problem is a reason to raise federal taxes! ! -- that lowers freedom (ability to do as we choose with our means) for everyone! !
If there are issues to solve, causes to carry, do those privately, or at the state/community/family/individual level, *outside* the Federal government.
The states, laboratories of democracy, are places where we can learn from each other what works best, and even move to a different set of laws sometimes.
