Republicans and their fallacious belief of government

[Billy000]

It seems as though republicans have this belief that our government is corrupt and uncontrollable. It's as though they believe that there is some evil, shadow entity within our government that seeks to weaken capitalism and control the masses through dictatorship. They, of course, call this "big government".

Now obviously there is such a thing as "big government" but I fail to see what makes this government "big". Who exactly is trying to make our government "big"? It can't be Obama. Both Bush and Clinton have used twice as many executive orders as Obama. God forbid Fox News ever admit that.

So what is it? What is "big" about our government? Some sophomoric republicans see taxation and regulation as "big". They seem to have this laughable idea in their minds that some fat cat government official is profiting off of all the revenue. What the fuck is that about? Revenue pays for our country's expenses such as our badass military, highways, and public schools. Why is that a bad thing? Do republicans just expect the government to pay for everything for them?

Regulations meanwhile keep our environment clean and consumers safe. Corporations must follow laws like everyone else even if that means less profit. Now granted some well intentioned regulations do more harm than good, but republicans seem to he against the very idea of regulating the market. It's absolutely crazy. No one who proposes regulations thinks "grr I hate capitalism! People need to be controlled! I hate freedom!"

Yes, there is such a thing as too much government, but there is also such a thing as too little government. Repubs and libertarians of the like wish to see gov minimized as much as possible and it's crazy. To me what corrupts government isn't what comes from within but what comes from outside: corporate lobbyists. It is self-interested corporations that wish to corrupt the system for their own gain.

You should all be thankful for your government and the services it provides. It serves a vital purpose. Yes, freedom and the pursuit of happiness should be part of every nation's motto, but that doesn't mean there isn't such a thing as too much freedom.

Why can't republicans be more mature about this?

The size and scope make it big. Central power gobbling up more control over states, spending more and getting into shit government has no business being in makes it wrong for America. Creating jobs and paying able bodied people to sit around on their asses is not something this government was designed to do. The president deciding unilaterally what our immigration policy should isn't how this government was designed.

It's real for those of us that don't have their heads buried in the sand.

It is. Care to prove otherwise?

It's as though they believe that there is some evil, shadow entity within our government that seeks to weaken capitalism and control the masses through dictatorship.

Gonna watch Obama's speech tonight?

They, of course, call this "big government".

So, tell us. How small is it?

Now obviously there is such a thing as "big government" but I fail to see what makes this government "big".

Just look at the tax code. That will give you a good measure.

So what is it? What is "big" about our government? Some sophomoric republicans see taxation and regulation as "big".

So, why are most of the social welfare programs on the books passed by the Democratic party? You can go allll the way back to the New Deal to get your answers. Oh, and about taxation, the medical devices tax a la Obamacare, has been responsible for putting hundreds of thousands of people out of work.

Revenue pays for our country's expenses such as our badass military, highways, and public schools. Why is that a bad thing? Do republicans just expect the government to pay for everything for them?

Our revenue pays the government's expenses, but the government give not the slightest care about the expenses they incur on the taxpayer.

Wrong answer, Skippy - its up to you to prove that the points of your arguments actually exist.
In doing so, you will prove that you did not present a strawman.
