The left uses the same argument. Because you don’t want the federal government to grow you're selfish. I have a very left-wing brother and sister-in-law that uses the same arguments that SP does.
We’re finding out that populism doesn’t necessarily mean limited federal government. As we see from SP‘s posts, it’s a belief that more spending and a growing federal government will work if people like him we’re running it.
@LMAO You are more full of Bush than a Christmas goose.
With loons like you,it is ALWAYS everything or nothing. I know this is hard for you to believe,but you are NOT the only one in the world,or even the most important person living.
We live in what is SUPPOSED to be a free nation. This means the government exists to control everything that has to do with economics AT THE GOVERNMENT level.
People,as well as states and nations,need different things at different times. Our elected officials are elected to sort through those needs and determine "Who needs what,and when do they need it?"
For example,little things like food,water,highways,bridges,public transportation,public schools,police departments,prisons,etc,etc,etc.
YOU may not like paying the taxes to help fund any of this because you can't find anything in the federal or state budget that directly services YOUR needs,but guess what,Bubba? The world,and even the nation ain't about YOU.
It is about US as individuals and members of society.
AND the money to pay for it all HAS to come from somewhere. Unless you are one of those clueless fools who believes in anarchy,you SHOULD be able to understand this.
You are not a child,so should also be able understand that in a country of 330 MILLION people,there IS money going to be spent on things and people you do not approve of.
No matter WHAT your mama told you when you were a "very special little child",the world does NOT exist solely to please you.
Suck it up and deal with it in a rational manner instead of living by slogans,like some teenage communist wannabe living in his parents garage.
