Citizens: How much should the government spend and control over their lives?

[SmarterthanYou]

My so-called naivete has served me very well.

It's like listening to people complain about others taking advantage of, say, welfare, when the numbers are insignificant compared to the whole. While the abusers are a minuscule portion of the population it's constantly brought up by politicians as a major problem. It plays on the jealousy and envy of those who think someone is getting something for nothing. If the pittance the government offers in the form of help is such a great deal it's strange we don't see millions of people quitting their job, selling their home and applying for welfare.

Sometimes reality has no place in people's illogical beliefs.

the liberals version of 'I got mine, so fuck you and yours'. awesome.

I can only assume you agree with apple that welfare fraud is committed by an infinitesimally small portion of the total number of recipients.

Otherwise you'd have gone with something a bit more substantive than another ad hom.

ad homs seem to work for you libs when it comes to defining Libertarians, so I decided to communicate with you on your own level.
