So then, you should have no objection to the bailouts, welfare programs, and other forays of Big Government into American society.
After all, we are just being "our brother's keeper," right? And it's all for "the common good," isn't it?
I have no problem with helping others, but I do have every bit of a problem getting into government and forcing Americans to help others, whether the objects of help are domestic or foreign.
Jack Kemp used to say something to the effect of: What you subsidize you get more of. What you penalize you get less of. Is it any wonder that we are in the mess we are in today?
I fail to see the connection between welfare programs and sending rescue workers in the aftermath of tsunamis Southeast Asia or Hurricane Katrina in Louisiana to literally save lives of folks stranded in collapsing or flooded buildings. I hope your grandma does not need to be pulled from her nursing home as the waters rise and you are whining about not wasting money on her and other similarly situated.
I also fail to see how the boogie....err, Big Government is the result of spanking those who were the perps of 9/11 and those who cheer them on and harbor them.
I see a very strong connection between gelding America in such situations and the all purpose loss of American backbone or whatever and other forms of paleoPaulieism.
Randianism is a junkyard philosophy. So is Paulistinianism.
