Financial Problem?

Thanks. Entire departments should be terminated immediately. I can agree to entitlements being phased out more slowly, since so many people made plans based on the idiotic governments promises.

I realized the reason he said "essential" is because to control people, you need to make them dependent. Now I get his perspective.

-------------------

Of course! That is the easiest way at least. There are only two ways to control people. One is through force, the other through controlled manipulation(brainwashing, etc). It is much more difficult to successfully control through force than it is to make the people you are trying to control think they actually are following what they believe.

By getting the masses to believe that they need the government then the government becomes all powerful and those masses will fight for whatever the government wants.

The power of socialism is that it works inversely to that of force. With force, the larger the population the harder it is to control. It is easier to force a few people to do something than many(people innately are against force but in few numbers it's harder to mount any resistance). With socialism it becomes easier the larger the population since people generally are not independent thinkers and are heavily influenced by what others think. The more people believe they need the government the more socialist they become and the faster it spreads. At some people the government is is virtually complete control with virtually no force.

Primitive minded people like miso are one of those that have fallen victim. Note he might be quite intelligent in electronics and perhaps other things but he lacks the necessary independent self-reliant nature that made this country great and what humans evolved from. That kinda human nature is at direct odds against socialism. We didn't evolve to be controlled by others(well some more so than others).

The biggest problems with socialism is that 1) It doesn't work for large populations(works for families, villages, and possibly small countries). 2) It is all about power and control(ultimately there is no ethics/morality involved).

Note that with 1 and what I said earlier about socialism taking hold faster for larger countries are not mutually exclusive. This is why socialism fails faster compared to other ideologies. For large populations, socialism tends to spread very fast after a certain point but since it doesn't work for populations the society eventually fails.

A small family has no issue with a socialist structure and it has been that way for ever. But for all practical cases humanity will never be one big happy family and socialism will never work. It works for ants because each ant is identical and mindless as the next. Many socialist innately understand this and this is why you see the dumbing down of America, all the unions, and "equality" laws. It's the best shot that "they", the "controllers", have at taking America over.

The government should be involved in only 3 things: National defense, Basic infrastructure(interstate roads), and International laws, enforcement, and diplomacy.

1) Without a national defense system there is no nation... at least not for long. 2) For any successful society one needs roads and bridges. These should be free for the public to use. The number should be minimal and only provide what is necessary for (1) to operate effectively. 3) Provides a means to deal with the "outside". It should be minimal and utmost only to protect the people from outside countries.

These are essential. Everything else should be left up to localities where local people have a more direct influence on what actually effects them. Nothing like someone in Utah paying for something done in California and vice versa(which ultimately results in double taxation and an effective loss of wealth for everyone).

This will never happen in America until, possibly, it collapses.

Courts are local. 99.99999% of crimes are local and should be dealt as such.

So we don't need the house and senate, as they are not part of those listed above.

Pass a law that says: Any time there is a deficit of more than 3% of GDP, all sitting members of Congress are ineligible for re-election.

Oh, thats right, there will be no new laws.

Again, it should all be up to localities. That is the only way to keep the power in the peoples hands. When people are directly responsible for themselves then you'll see more mature governing.

As long as people in a far away place can make decisions that will have no immediate and obvious recourse to themselves, family, and friends, they will make decisions that will have unintended consequences.

You must take the power away from a centralized government as much as possible. The founding fathers knew about this but they didn't know about how ignorant humans could actually be.

It's not the governments job, and never was, to take care of your ass. Simple as that. It might hurt your feelings but get the f*ck over it!

Typical libturd mentality. If you can't fix it perfectly and instantly just spend more money as that surely then must be the answer.

Yawn. Why don't you try it? I'm an old man who served in the military, owned a business and was working at 13.
