The government produces no money. Remember that. Anything they spend comes directly from your pocket. 
So look at this rich, smug, smiling clown. Government isn’t big enough or intrusive enough for him. He feels it needs to be bigger. MUCH bigger:
Edwards, a former Democratic senator from North Carolina, says the federal government should underwrite universal pre-kindergarten, create matching savings accounts for low-income people, mandate a minimum wage of $9.50 and provide a million new Section 8 housing vouchers for the poor. He also pledged to start a government-funded public higher education program called “College for Everyone.”
Not to mention creating a centralized government-run health care mess, I mean system. And not one mention of a strong military or a focus on national defense.
Now, getting back to spending. How does Sen. Edwards plan to pay for that? He expects you to sacrifice:
At every stop, Edwards said, he tells voters he’ll ask them to sacrifice. Asked to describe what he means, he described his plan for increases in capital gains taxes, saying taxes on “wealth income” should be in line with those on work income.
“I think if we want to fund the things that I think are important to share in prosperity, then people who have done well in this country, including me, have more of a responsibility to give back,” he said. Later, he added: “There are no free meals.”
Moron. Of course there are no free meals. That’s part of the reason health care is so expensive. Look into it. And let’s not hijack a libertarian slogan to justify socialist programs. That’s wrong on so many levels.
Also, Mister I-Wanna-Be-President, tell me which of those things the federal government is supposed to do? Better yet, tell me which of the Founding Fathers would feel those we things the Federal government should do?
Hmm? What’s that? Right. The federal government has no such authority or role and none of the Founding Fathers would endorse such a role.
There is not a Democratic candidate that understands this. Not one. And the bad thing is the so-called conservative side is almost as bad. Not so much in the creating a bigger government department, but subsidies and nanny-staters have infiltrated the Republicans.
Give me someone dedicated to shrinking the federal government and limiting their role in my life. People would get along a lot better if government would get out of the way and stop trying to help us. It is doing more harm than good.
