If The Government Is Out To Get Us, Why Do We Keep Electing Them?

Like you, I heard the hue and cry from the not-to-bright that the government will control us soon. If that isn't the biggest load of bull, I'm clueless. First, the biggest meddler in the average citizen's day to day life, is local government. That's a fact! Another fact, party affiliation makes no difference. We have Mayors of all party affiliation running our cities, towns, and villages. They tax us for police, fire, education, social services, etc, etc. After the Mayors, you have your Governors who do the same tax and spend procedures. This logic pretty much shoots down Alaska Governor's Sara Palin's speech. If any should begin pointing any fingers, she should start first. Once again selective-memory is in play when she conveniently forgets she runs a state. Take the recent vote in California. The people rejected to have a tax increase to pay for police, fire, education, and other vital social services. Now what do you think will happen? If you said services will get cut back, your correct.

Now when these services begin the dramatic cutbacks, guess what you will hear from the people and pundits? If you said we need police, fire, teachers, doctors, hospitals, and prisons. Once again your correct. Do you see the idiocy of "don't tax me, but give me what I want"? Total hypocrisy! You have to pay for police, fire, teachers, doctors, hospitals, and prisons. You have to have specific vital services for people of all walks of life. That includes the young to the elderly. Should the "Be aware of Government" crowds get their respective wish, watch their respective states collapse. What will they do, create their own currency to pay for police, fire, and you get the picture.

These select people with their "Maria Antoinette mentality" is just astounding. But then again, that's just my opinion.
