I think for weak minded or lazy people its easy to say that you want big government and want a nanny state to be there to take care of and manage everything from cradle to grave. By living your life that way its easy but you lose personal choice and freedom.
I want to live my life with greater freedom more personal choice and less government intrusion.
Is it scary for some people to have to think for themselves or make their own decisions sure but by not being dependent upon the government you will be better off being independent.
Dont get me wrong there is a place for government. But the monstrosity we have today is a bloated system ever designed to increase its power and foot print snd to reduce individual freedoms.
Holy crap we fought a revolutionary war against England to be free but have forgotten governments place.
Its easy for a politician to who're out tax money to fancy programs that weak minded people think they want or need but 75% of it is crap and just furthers government consolidating power and further making more and more people dependent upon government for survival.
Give me freedom, smaller government, more personal choice. I assume and expect greater personal risk and uncertainties but I do not want to live my life dependent upon what the government gives me or allows me to do.
