>> If the government got out of the way you would be less likely to produce wealth...hell, you'd be speaking German or Russian, or your property would be held by fences and guns. You people just don't understand what you are saying. Al, that is patronizing and ridiculous. We could shrink government by half over a period of ten years, and if done correctly, few people would feel it. And more money would be available for those who truly needed it. But we have no leadership. We have corrupt assholes like Obama and Reid and Pelosi, and perhaps a few Republicans, too -- who don't give a flying fart about this country. They're a lot more interested in creating a "legacy" of taking money from the wealthy and giving it to the bums. It is really pathetic, you know. You're not a stupid individual, yet you advocate stupid policy like giving money to people who don't want to work for it, which is a obviously an unworkable and behaviorally unsound policy. I sure think you realize the trillions -- close to 100 T, that we've stolen from future generations, amounts to a horribly immoral act. Yet, somehow, you continue to support that policy. The government has never contributed ONE IOTA to my business interests. Period. I've been working with government bureaucracies for more than three decades, and I could count on one hand the times I've found a bureaucrat who was competent to hold the job he or she held. I have seldom seen one whose work I couldn't do in 1/3 or 1/2 the time. That's a fact (i would make a big exception for the Dallas District Director of IRS and the IRS commissioner in the late 80s -- these people actually, for some reason, got shit done. That is a rarity).
