Reply #16: Perhaps we just don't "understand" each other.

I do care about my fellow man, I just don't like being coerced into "giving". I think welfare of any kind is in the end, counterproductive, rewarding failure rather than success and giving no incentive to companies or individuals to "pull themselves up by their own bootstraps". I also find the current state of affairs with respect to our military presence in virtually every country on earth to be an appalling waste of resources and worst yet demonstrates a total lack of respect for the sovereignty of other nations.

The government's job, atleast in my mind, is to sit back and act essentially as a referee, making sure no individual or entity violates the rights of another. At the present they are interfering way more than they should. The two main problems as I see it are that they spend and promise money that isn't there, and they continually get us into fights we have no business being in. I guess I just don't understand how MORE government interference is going to help the situation any.

Though I suppose that's just giving the corporations an opening further enslave us? :eyes:
