Founding fathers Quote by Eric Bolling

“When in doubt, the Founding Fathers preferred that our government do nothing. We’re usually safest when it does. The scariest words someone can hear in their lifetime are: “We’re with the government, and we are here to help you.” If that ever happens to you, run the opposite way!” quote by Eric Bolling
