There is no doubt that our government must become smaller, less expensive and more efficient. But there is another thing government must become that does not get near enough attention: fairer.

We must fight to keep government from treating citizens unfairly. Government should be on the side of the people, not a hindrance to their advancement. I wanted to highlight some of the ways in which we must end the unfairness of government and work across party lines to create a leaner, smarter, government that is focused on fairness, equality and liberty, rather than opposing these most basic ideals.
