WHY BIG GOVERNMENT JUST DOESN'T WORK

When you were a young child and needed sneakers and you told your parent you wanted Jordans in particular, usually the first thing out of that parent's mouth was:

1. Where do you work at?

2. You will wear these skippies from Payless!!

And you had to wear them! Why?? Because someone else had the money and they were taking care of you. That's the same way I feel about the federal government and people expecting it to solve all of their problems. Sure, big government will march in to save the day-- but at what cost??

When someone else is supporting you, you pretty much have to live by their rules! Universal healthcare sounds awesome on paper, but that also gives the government the power to tell you what treatments THEY think you should receive and WHEN you should receive it! And if you are too fargone in your illness-- Oh well, it was nice knowing you! Think that is impossible?? It's in the massive stimulus plan that our elected officials just passed without reading! It's hidden in that 'digitalized medical records' part of it.

GM took money from the government and Obama FIRED their CEO! And he is demanding that they build the cars HE feels as though they should build! And WHY is he meddling in a private business?? Because government money is all up in it!

Pretty soon that is going to fall on the average American.

I know most liberals who are for big government intervention think those that are against it are greedy and selfish. But I can only speak for myself when I say I take care of myself because I don't want to have to answer to anybody!I don't want the government providing me with healthcare, food or anything else. I just want my taxes used on the police, sanitation and the like.

Now many people fall on hard times and I understand that. But this is why it behooves everyone to get back up again and work hard to overcome.

Big government has never helped anyone accept big government!
