Does the government really know what's best for you?

[manifold]

I'm guessing the just about everyone with a functioning brain would answer no.

Yet I see so many people post comments to the effect that they believe the government knows what's best for everyone else.

Seems just wee bit hypocritical to me.


Just sayin...

I know what is best for everyone else.

But I am not the government.

Which does not

[Baruch Menachem]

Well, we voted for them to lead us.

Says a lot right there.

I guess it is an example of where the dumb employ the smart.

No wonder they believe that it it the poor that will create the jobs.

They got it all ass backwards.

There is not a single person in congress or the white house that I voted for. Not one.
Sucks to be a conservative in NY state.
Hasn't been since I voted for bush in 2000.

Nope...and they dont claim to.
They ask if you want to buy their products. You only have to if you want to.

 

[Mr. Peepers]

Nope...and they dont claim to.

Yes, they do. Now they're going to elect our representatives too! You neocons must be so proud...

They claim to know what is best for you? Really? And how can it matter unless you use their services or buy their goods?
And you are sure you understand the ruling where you can make that claim about the elections?
Did you read the ruling or simply go by what you heard?
Dont answer...rhetorical questions....

WTF does this have to do with anything???

Maybe you can give us your thoughts on snapbeans and sod too.... just as relevant.

Don't waste your time, anybody that would post something that stupid hasn't read the ruling and wouldn't understand it if they did.

On a scale of 1 - 10 (1 being seriously stupid, ie a liberal and 10 being completely deranged, ie a progressive liberal) exactly how stupid are you?

More right wing delusional fantasy.

No one cares what you do.

Care to explain how and when a corporation cast a vote.

My guess, he would rank about a 114

Only ones who should be able to ascertain what is best for them is the individual and even they get that wrong about themselves occasionally so hell no, the government does not know what is best.
