Those who base their understanding of government on revisionist history have a poor understanding of the true intent of our government's purpose/function. It allows them to stand for nothing and fall for anything. It allows them to create big over-regulating bureaucracies on what amounts to emotion instead of logic. Every bureaucracy Progressives have built in the last 100 years today are failures in that they can no longer be sustained. When a citizen is burdened/forced to hire someone to prepare their taxes because the tax code has become so complicated the system is a failure. When one of the biggest budget busters is paying for all the bureaucrats wages, benefits, bonuses and pension funds due to the size of these bureaucracies, the system is seriously flawed. When taxpayers are continuously left on the hook for increased funding to these bureaucracies in the billions of dollars to keep them afloat and no matter how much money is thrown at them, they never improve in efficiency, the writing is on the wall. I truly don't understand the mindset that thinks more government is better government. How they can put their faith in it with such a miserable record is beyond me. Maybe it's because they just don't have any faith in themselves.Very serious accusations .
I'd love to hear from government employees to hear their side of this issue.
My opinion - considering the quality of our people, I think our government is OK...but, as with private business, it can be better..
Suggestions ?
Listen to the people, but, listen carefully.
IMO, polls are male bovine feces, unless conducted properly and fairly...
I suspect too many people here "hate" government and cannot argue sensibly.
