Yes, I agree.. Now what do you think of my safety net plan, in which is not government pushing us toward anything that it believes in as a vision or ideology, but is rather just providing us with a net to catch us in, if all else fails when we walk the high wire of life ?Why is all of this so hard to get right again I wonder?
Because everyone has a different idea of what "getting it right" means. That's why I prefer a government that protects our freedom to pursue our own vision of 'right', rather than deciding what the vision must be and pushing us toward it.
It's vastly better than what's been proposed. Ultimately, I think we can care for each other as a society voluntarily (and it would be preferable to do so), but I don't find safety nets to be an egregious violation of limited government.
