I've found myself arguing for the gov't to take my money for marriage initiatives so that the gov't will take less of my money to fix the problems associated with broken families. The sad thing is, that's about the only way I can see we have a chance at turning the ship around. People need to begin again with the basics, remembering that freedom means they must take care of themselves.
When did the American people stop believing in personal responsiblity. When did freedom start excluding the freedom to fail?
The advance of the Welfare State means the retreat of Liberty. We've gone down the road to hell a long way in the last 40 years.
