Big government exists to "fix all of the problems" if the problem goes away and they are successful they lose their money and the big government that goes along with it...So do you really think they want to help poor people? the answer is obvious if you think about it government CAN'T be the answer

@NandRService Yup, that sounds like a fair assessment.

@Blexine ... government should protect our borders, safeguard our liberties and deliver our mail. thats all. now it is a corperation who's sole purpose is to squeeze as much money out of it's indentured servents as possible and dumb them down to keep the complaicent.

The minorities only have rights if the MAJORITY of people let them. Thats why democracy isn't so good. Its better then a dictatorship sure, but it ain't that better and infact in many cases have lead to dictatorships in the past. Remember, the greeks had slaves ;)

@z3r0Projects Yes indeed. That very thought had occurred to me long before I heard Carlin say it. You are of course right that misappropriation of funds and secret handshakes is what gives rise to these failures of government, but I think it is folly to imagine that will ever stop. As long as there's a river of money flowing through the gov. they will always be tempted to swim in it. Cut out the huge gov. budget and you cut out their ability to misdirect funds. End of story IMHO.

@Blexine if ONLY big brother WAS taking care of those that can't care for themselves instead of taking care of itself at the expense of millions of lives under the pretext of 'freedom & democracy' , if ONLY they were educating all children instead of dumbing them down so they keep running on the treadmill, we would not need any ( or barely any ) laws and/or government. "But they don't want citizens capable of critical thought... They want obedient workers" ( George Carlin )

@z3r0Projects ". politics is obsolete, counterproductive and pointless..." -The trouble is that we have all invested too much into the idea that government should regulate all areas of our lives. Of course the notion of big brother always taking care of us is very comforting to some, but security is ALWAYS traded against freedom. I know this had little to do with your main comment, but your final conclusion is what spurred me to reply. Government is necessary, but not in EVERYTHING

@d3ltadrive wouldn't it make sense if once people are elected they can be UNelected when they don't do what they promised to do before the election? It just seems so backwards that we choose our leaders based on promises they make instead of actual achievements. Obama did pretty much the opposite of what he was elected for and all we can do is choose the next bullshitter... politics is obsolete, counterproductive and pointless...
