My boyfriend and I got into a political discussion the other day, and I asked him to write a guest entry on my blog. He has a way of putting things in perspective. A perspective that makes sense. Hopefully this is the first of may guest entries.
Without further ado–he says…
“Every four years, we have this national election dog and pony show.
The candidates tell use they are different, they will put America back
on the right track. They lie.
They lie about each other, they lie about themselves. Every year the government grows larger. Every year the bureaucrats create more and more government. Every year we keep less of our own money. They tell us we’ll have programs to help the poor, the sick, the needy. They tell us we need to fix the schools. But curiously, none of those things ever happen. Why? Because government is not in the business of fixing problems. Government is in the business of growing government. That’s all. Churches, private charities, individuals. That is what can fix the schools, heal the sick, and feed the poor. Government can’t and won’t do it. More government is never the answer, and every four years, that’s what we get. More government. Another blowhard who promises to make everything all better. It’s never going to happen. What America needs, what we all need, is less government. Fewer bureaucrats, fewer wasteful programs. Then we might have some money left over to give to private charities and churches, the organizations who can do the most good. I will admit right now I don’t have all the answers, but I am convinced beyond doubt of one thing. More government is never the answer. Never. And that’s why, this year, I’m not voting. Actually, I suppose I am voting. My vote is one of no confidence.”
