And cons prefer we look like another 3rd world country progressive policies lifted US from!
"The only orthodox object of the institution of government is to secure the greatest degree of happiness possible to the general mass of those associated under it."
Thomas Jefferson
Let's be clear about something, moron... Regardless of what conservative prefer or what you think, there is no way to continue spending more than you take in. Quotes from Jefferson will not matter when our credit resources are exhausted and our creditors demand payment.
Contrary to what you might think, I don't like to see people suffer needlessly. In fact, I want to do everything in my power to keep that from happening. But the real suffering is coming if we don't get a grip on deficit spending. This means we can't just keep on creating new inventive ways to "help" people with more borrowed money. You're not "helping" anyone, you are mortgaging our future and ensuring future generations will suffer like we can't even fathom.
Now whine some more about "the rich" and how they should have to pay for all this "help" you are bestowing... it's not happening. You're not getting their wealth! You can't get their wealth because they are way smarter than you! And... there are more and more wealthy people generated every day. And of course, that is what you want to stop from happening... you want people to
NOT be wealthy. To be enslaved to The State, where they will have to march in lockstep behind your authoritarian Fascist policies. You prefer a nation full of dependent people who count on
YOU to bestow financial blessings from upon high. But
YOU are broke... there is no money!
Now ya boy Mao had a 'solution' for this, he rounded up all those "rich greedy asshole capitalists" and executed them. Stole their wealth and did it in the name of "helping" the people. The results were catastrophic and outright heinous. It didn't help anyone but the ruling class, and it plunged China into economic darkness for 40 years.
