* Reagan's "Government is the problem"
* Phil Gramm's contention that the country's "economic crisis" and "moral crisis" were due to "the explosion of government"
* Talk radio hosts' advocacy of armed resistance to "jack-booted government thugs"
* Dole's 1996 campaign, advancing the notion that
taxes were "Your Money" being taken from you
* Gingrich's Contract with America (welfare cuts, tax cuts, limitations on corporations' responsibility and on the government's ability to regulate them)
* Dick Armey's comment that Medicare (medical aid for the elderly) is "a program I would have no part of in a free world"
* Bush's tax cuts, intended not only to reward the rich but to "starve the beast", in Grover Norquist's words: to create a permanent deficit as a dangerous ploy to reduce social spending
* Jeb Bush's hope that the Florida state government buildings would one day be empty
* Intellectual support for attacks on the quality of working life in this county and for undoing the New Deal
Seem like good positions to me.

I like you! I may not agree with you, but I like you! You at least went to the link and read it. If you keep on reading a few things like that, your sub-conscious will start to work on you and you will experience ENLIGHTENMENT one day. You will have your “Moment of Clarity”.
parsy, who says thanks for at least reading it!
