Is There Anything Government Can’t Ruin?
Derek Hunter


I really just hate government. I get why it’s necessary, I’m not an anarchist who wants no government – I’ve lived in both Detroit and Baltimore, so I’ve witnessed enough lawless areas and actions for a lifetime – but most of the time government simply gets in the way. It gets in the way be design; deliberately or by accident, it doesn’t really matter how a giant rock got in the road, it being there is what you have to deal with. That’s government.

I really do long to hear a politician tell someone at a town hall that all they’re going to “do FOR them” is get the government out of their way, because that’s what we really need right now.

You know the scene, you see it every 4 years, someone stands up at a town hall and recites their sad tale of woe about whatever happened in their life that led the to the point that they’re an adult going on national television to beg the government to do something for them. “How are you going to help me?” is the gist of their question.

I would pay real money to see a politician say they weren’t going to do anything to help them, they were going to do everything to allow them to help themselves.

[LMAO]

No

Because, unlike in a free market system, businesses have to compete for your business and dollars. Government does not.

The Government can't even deal marijuana correctly - too much regulation (and corruption?) for wannabe Doctors Feelgood to make a profit.

[Free Vulcan]

Yes. They are top notch at oppression, corruption, and dictatorship.

[Smokin Joe]

NO. But there is a lot they were never meant to screw with.

Wh was it that said that if government managed the Sahara Desert it would soon have a shortage of sand?

If I recall correctly, I believe that was Milton Friedman

I don't hate government I view it as a necessary evil to be controlled as tightly as possible by the rule of law and the constitution.
I don't know which founding father said that if men i.e. people were angels, we wouldn't need government.
But men aren't angels, and we do need government.
The difference between (okay, one of the differences) between conservatives and liberals is that while conservatives want to see government on a tight leash, liberals would like to see government unleashed and running everything.

I can't hazard a guess.
But I -know- that we're going to find out.
And... soon.
