Jack, I completely disagree with the notion that America has to become smaller to have a smaller less invasive government! It is a socialist mentality to think that only government can grow America or help Americans.
America achieved its success by people utilizing their abilities to better themselves and their lives free of an overly burdening government. America was not built by grants, entitlements or anything big government can possibly provide. Instead our constitution provides a framework outlining government limitations, so as to prevent government to ever be able to control the people it governs. The people of the republic govern not the other way around. Countless Americans have given their lives to protect the very freedom big government takes away. Government run health care just happens to be the straw that broke the camel's back and Americans are saying enough is enough in overwhelming numbers.

That method is to have a smaller country, in other words, a lower level of population. With an exploding population there is just no way that I can see to get a smaller government. If only reclaiming our country for working people was as easy as voting the incumbents out that would be GREAT but unfortunately it's not that simple. Voting the incumbents out won't result in government doing a better job for working people because the real influence is the big-corporation money that finances the election campaigns for each new crop of political nominees. The big-money lobbyists remain when each old group of politicians is voted out so the big-money corporation's power actually becomes greater and greater as time goes on. The solution that I propose is equal public financing for ALL political campaigns. Each nominee (and incumbent) would receive an equal number of taxpayer dollars to run their campaign. This will help ALL candidates remember who they are supposed to be working for (working-class taxpayers, not large corporations). As to regaining some influence for working people with regard to banks, I'd recommend that everyone put their money in a local credit union or small local community bank. My money has been kept in a local community credit union for over 20 years and I feel good about it being there. It's contributing to the community instead of being used in an irresponsible fashion and/or used against the best interests of the community.
