a pretty good idea of how big government should be, and the answer we got was just big enough to help line the pockets of those who control it and their friends. OK.... so, how would you cure that problem? By making government even bigger? Perhaps, it would be better to make it SMALLER - not "big enough" for large scale corruption. Wouldn't you think that limited - NOT BIG - government may be a better cure for the corporatist disease? The more power we hand them, the more favors they'll have... for sale. makes the notion of rounding them up into stinking cattle pens prior to incineration much more palatable ;-) My friend, I'm very happy that you placed that smiley at the end... for otherwise this would look like a rather extreme example of political intolerance. Not easy to respect the right of others to hold views with which one strongly disagrees, but in order to remain a civil, pluralistic society, we have to. Otherwise, we've got nothing.

<<There is an distinctly sociopathic element of American society that believes it owes nothing to the society at large and should not be accountable to it in any way. Their ideologies help this element maintain a self image of being something other than selfish, parasitic opportunists. Ultimately these are weak people, for they are too weak to even acknowledge their own nature>> Exactly.And it is very evident here on some occasions. Maybe it stems from the McCarthy witch hunt for commies, or the looking down the nose at socialism from the Reagan years, always ignoring government programs that most, seem to be satisfied with, such as medicare....and not wanting to be honest and recognize what it is ...socialism. Canada, Great Britain and France have socialism ...this cancer can not exist in free marketeer America.SNIFF and full stomp.! Can't even recognize the trillions of dollars put up by tax payers to save their system.

There is an distinctly sociopathic element of American society that believes it owes nothing to the society at large and should not be accountable to it in any way. Exactly! And leftists think that farming your responsibility off to the government will free you of your responsibility. Only fools are fooled by leftits cavalier attitude draped in pseudo caring verbiage.
