“If more Americans would get a clue, understand that THEIR income and hard work is stolen from them in the form of taxes, too many to list here, and learn how to keep as many of their dollars OUT of the hands of Government, we could bring it to a screeching halt...which is a lovely dream, but just that; a dream.”
A dream? Stopping the relentless rise of government?
Well, Reagan couldn’t do it. Thatcher couldn’t do it. I fear Palin in power, even at her best, couldn’t do it.
We’re talking about human nature here — too many people who believe in a free lunch or who are more than happy to live at the expense of others. I fear we’re too far gone at this point. I’m hoping some great leader of Churcillian proportions will pull us out of this descent...
...but Churchill couldn’t stop it either. He won WWII, but he couldn’t stop the UK from going deeper into socialism.
...and they kicked him out of office after the war.
No, my “dream” is for people to get a clue that Government = THEIR MONEY.
But fifty years of dumbing down the electorate is working against me.
