Do You Want More Or Less Government In Your Life?

[OohPooPahDoo]

It was the lack of government regulation that destroyed the world economy.

We need to bring back Glass-Steagall.

no. it was a lack of personal virtue that recessed the world economy.

Right. Everyone in the world just all of a sudden became less virtuous. That's a very believable and verifiable theory.

 

[OohPooPahDoo]

Socialism works every time one of these teabag fucks drives to work.

Another works claim.....

When someone says it works....I wonder what they mean.

We could not get to work without socialism ? That would be funny.

I suppose you could hire someone to build a road going from your driveway to where you work - but you'd likely have to pay millions.

Do you have millions?

I don't recall reading the word "suddenly" in her post.

However, if there is case to be made against honesty...I'd love to hear it. All I hear from the left is about how greed is the boogey man.

Can't have it both ways.

I'll be my neighbors and myself could put in a street cheaper than the city could hire it out for.

Why would I need millions ?

So your saying the economic collapse wasnt caused by people being covetous, living beyond their means, dishonest, proud, idle, and wasteful? Because that's exactly the problem.

You building a road of solid gold?

He is...not me.

We might not even pave it. Or maybe we would put down pavers and make it real classy. Either way, it would be cheaper than what my city is paying for linear foot of street.

That would be a switch for the left.

The way things are going you'll be lucky they if they don't lock you up and throw away the key for chewing gum on a public sidewalk like they do in Singapore. Is it me or has anyone else noticed this rush by Police to lock everyone up for even minor offenses? What kind of training are our Police receiving? It's becoming pretty frightening.

Covetous? Really? Sorry, my doctorate is in philosophy, not theology, that's above my head.

Here's an idea - maybe it was caused by the greed of the very few with a lot of power and money? Just a thought.

I don't mind the police so much.....at least not where I live.

Look at government.....our spending on schools has gone from 30% of the state budget to 70%. Our state taxes have gone up as well as our local sales tax.

People on the left say....well, you don't get services if you don't pay for them. So, I say can I not pay for them if I don't want them ? Well, that just isn't a choice because I have to help build the new fire stations and haire DARE officers and the like.

But all the cash going to taxes is cash I don't have to spend on things I really want.

How selfish of me !!!

 

[paulitician]

92% to 7%? I actually thought this would be closer.

Yeah covetous:

1 : marked by inordinate desire for wealth or possessions or for another's possessions


2 : having a craving for possession

I would have thought that taking the time to get a doctorate you might have learned what words mean or at least the ability to use a dictionary.

Because you just agreed with what I said. That this mess was caused because people were covetous.

Nonsense.

Humans have always been and will forever be dishonest, proud, idle, and wasteful. They’ve exhibited these traits through boom and bust.

Your attempt to frame the December 2007 recession and its aftermath as some sort of ‘divine punishment’ or as a consequence of man’s rejection of some religious dogma is inane.

 

[Mr Liberty]

Personally I like the governments of Sweden and Norway.

National health insurance, free education, and the old people are taken care of.

I think it is a much better system than ours.

Then move there! Stop trying to turn America into a social democracy. I don't want to live in one. I want my republic back.

Honesty is not religious dogma.

Good government.

Not to mention what we really need.

They want people with less money and choice. that way they have more power.

 

[Avatar4321]

Good government.

So you are going to start opposing Democrats?

Are you feeling alright?

Seriously though the only good government is self government.

 

[The T]

Good government.

If this is the case deany? Why do you support this president, and the Statists in the Congress?
