What are the majority's best interests, in your opinion?

Anyway...

I said nothing about isolationism. What I'm proposing is less government at home and a general policy of non-interventionism abroad. I'm not interested in cutting off contact and/or commerce with other nations. I believe that our government should generally butt out of the lives of American citizens and shouldn't be meddling in the affairs of other nations, either.

However, I believe this plan would be unpopular with "the powers that be" and they would oppose it.
