What is the purpose of government?

[wamose]

From most of the representatives point of view, government is to rob, derive power from and use to get reelected. Who said anything about noble intentions?

The rubes who still think that their vote has any value.

You can't have it both ways.

why not?

It's the nature of dependency. If you depend on someone else for your needs, they have control over you. Everything has its price.

...we pay taxes for a variety of things....we have the power to vote jackasses out ,that use those taxes idiotically
..please give examples of dependency

Congress has had an approval rating of under 20% for decades now yet they keep getting elected.

goes to show you Americans are stupid

 

[gipper]

Apparently, these days the purpose of government is to wipe your ass for you from cradle to grave

The purpose of our government today is to make sure the needs of the extreme wealthy are taken care of.

Well, that's just the thing. When government is in charge of distributing favors, the people with the most influence will get the most favors.

Our representatives to Government are only Delegated their authority.

We have our First, Ninth, and Tenth Amendments to ensure that.

Dude, I don't know of anyone out there that can hold the government accountable and enforce those constitutional guarantees, do you?

You reply to daniel as though he's said something - as though there's something to reply to. But there never is. Look closely at his posts. He's just regurgitating the same senseless quips and phrases over and over again. They rarely have anything, at all, to do with the topic. Yet people fill in the blanks and respond to his posts anyway. He's just trolling.

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

How about the obvious missing 3rd option? That government is there to control and limit the population and acts as sand in the gears of society as it only operates and thrives by taking from the economy, industry and the individual?

Sometimes I can't help but screw with his head just to let him know his repetitive B.S. is meaningless and not even people who hold the same views as he does want to be associated with him.
