What is the purpose of government?

[dblack]

Huh... I assumed a basic level of political awareness on the part of the reader. Google "US welfare programs" or something similar. You'll get there.

I assumed at least a 4th grade level from the OP poster
just LIKE a lot of dumbass threads -NO PROOF --NOTHING to back up their stupid shit

Sorry to disappoint you. What is your opinion? Would you rather have government focused on protecting freedom? Or ensuring that your needs are met? (according to the government's estimation of your needs).

Trump owns no one

What's your point.?

My point is that if we make government our principal provider, it will be our master. Access to the things we need will depend on staying on good terms with whomever is in office.

That's fascism

Pretty much. But it's where we're heading.

 

[dblack]

It's good to see that no one is supporting the idea that government is there to take care of us. But I do see that sentiment expressed frequently by posters on the board. Maybe they're shy.

do you---ahhhhhhh---have an EXAMPLE!!!!!!!!!!!!??

Your googler broken? Lazy prick. Do your own research.

No, you do the research so the critics can sit on their ass and try to rip it apart based upon their opinions. THAT is how this board works.

 

[rightwinger]

You can't have it both ways. To the extent that government is your caretaker, it is your master.

Government works for We the People

There is one thing that I've never witnessed on these boards:

I have never witnessed an incident where even mountains of evidence changed the balance when a critic didn't want to accept the truth or, better still, allow someone to have a differing opinion.

Randy Weaver moved far into the woods and demanded to be left alone. The government responded by killing members of his family (including a deliberate head shot by an experienced sniper on an unarmed mother as she held her infant with one arm while holding a door open) and the family dog in a cowardly attack.

You might want your name attached to that and the thousands of incidents of government sponsored murder, but not me. That government which governs least, governs best.

All he had to do is comply with a legal request
Instead, he went for his guns

Neither, government was first funded to protect people from invaders, war, raids, genocide. etc.

Not true. He was not notified in a timely manner. You're leaving out the facts of the case. The government lost in court and Weaver was awarded a substantial amount of money. That money cannot bring back his family, however.
