[BusyAfternoon]

Thought provoking. It's as simple as this, The Bigger The Government, The Smaller the Citizen. We all knew this growing up.

I like that, it fits in with my own big list of truisms...


The more government does on your behalf, the less you can do on your own behalf.

The more government is asked to do on your behalf, the less it can actually get accomplished.
A_J, the Stupid

The government big enough to give you something is big enough to take it away.

You can push a man but you cant push an agency. Agencies block leaders as well as citizens.

The Bigger The Government, The Smaller the Citizen?

Whithin reason, yeah, sure.

But it's idiocy to believe it's even close to analog, proportionate or absolute. Truisms are called truisms because they are separate from truth. Or else they'd be called truth.

And it's even bigger idiocy to believe only government can limit you.

And yeah, for the record. Didn't watch the vid yet, just commenting on the bumper sticker. My mobile broadband suuuuucks. Probably the Gub'mints fault, amitite?

Any time a conservative says "it's simple" it's a huge red flag for incoming stupidity. This little truism is false - or rather false at least much of the time.

Roads and highways help make the citizen free. They empower her to achieve far greater things than without them.

Same with public schools.

Same with government-backed health care such as Medicare or S-CHIP, or public hospitals.

Take these things away and the citizen is quickly dis-empowered.
