I love this.
The more power you give a government to do “good,” the more power you have also given it to do evil.
Keep government small.
If your congressmen voted in favor of H.R. 347, contact them and let them know you’re angry. You *should* be angry.
They call themselves ‘fiscal conservatives’, and they’re spending a trillion dollars a year managing an empire. You’re not going to solve our problems that way. You can’t tinker around with cutting food stamps for the poor and think you’re going to solve this problem. We have to change our attitude about the role of government. We can’t be the policemen of the world, we shouldn’t be policing personal lifestyles, and we certainly shouldn’t be running the economy. We have to have those attitudes changed or there’s no hope of us solving our problems.
