Nothing if you enjoy receiving Social Security and other governmental benefits, or are worker and not management. People who bash liberalism either don't know what liberalism is, or are so rich any tax hike pisses them off. But since most people need their GI Bill, Social Security, Medicare, retirement pensions, labor unions, etc. liberals are the bees knees.

Let's confine our discussion to the United States.
The only document that the people of the nation agreed to be governed by is the Constitution.
Article 1, section 8 enumerates the powers of the national government.
Which of the programs you've indicated are authorized by the above, or by an amendment to the Constitution, as, for example, income taxation was?
If not, why not?
BTW...
Your Napoleon quote is nonsense.....there is no perennial group known as 'the rich' in this nation.
The reference is a bête noire designed to focus the hate of the envious.
Seems you've fallen for it.
So if the racist slave owners who wrote the Constitution (and said slaves are only counted as three-fifths a free man) didn't write it, we should repeal it? Well there goes 99% of law then. While I'm all for simplification, I'm not sure that much simplification would actually improve things.
