small business vs. socialism

I heard the president's speech in Kansas yesterday. It reminded me that in the past we had discussed  that the country started with 90% self employed and 10% employees.  Now it's the opposite...why?  I think one of the reasons is too much government.  As the government gets involved in our everyday lives and sets new regulations to work by, we tend to stop thinking for ourselves and just do what we are told. If the government takes care of you, you don't have to take as many risks to get ahead. Little by little, they are changing the way our country has operated for the last two hundred years. If this keeps up, we will look like Europe. Their system is crashing because the government controls everything. Big government feeds on itself, the more it takes, the more it needs to survive.  You saw what happened to the USSR.  You are seeing what is happening to Europe today. Take a look at what has changed with us in the past three years, huge increase in regulations (in every sector), huge debt, low employment, and no help to the small business. All the help goes to the friends of the administration. We are seeing what happens when the government goes into the venture capital business,"Solandra", 500M in losses, and there are more. I think it is time we all got involved in the running of our government. Vote out the socialists and lets get back to making money again! It's that, or the United States of Greece!
Let me know your thoughts.
