[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm sorry folks are piling on and using unkind language in response to your post. I will be polite, but I must take issue with this:

[quote=Anonymous]
I see that the larger government becomes, the less efficient it is. 
[/quote]

It's factually, objectively untrue. "The Government", by every measure, provides more services to more people and institutions at a lower cost than at any time in its history. I won't even get in to subjective judgments like "better" or "safer". I'm talking strictly about the quantifiable elements.

My concern is, when you write something like that, which is so clearly an unsupported soundbite, that the rest of your argument is probably influenced by politicians and pundits who have the [i]stated goal[/i] of stalling the work of the nation, of increasing the burdens the poor carry, and of increasing animosity among an already fractious crowd (by which I mean Congress).

You can state that your belief system rejects the provision of services to people by government, but you can't say what you said and not set off some alarm bells. [/quote]

Can you explain children who die due to social services inefficiencies ?  Why veteran care is so poor?  Why doctors can't pay their overhead if they took only Medicare patients?  How the IRS makes errors and destroys people's lives through Leon's, garnishings, etc?  If private corporations made these mistakes, heads would roll. And do. Government?  Not so much.[/quote]

I find your complete lack of support for any of these assertions to be quite compelling.[/quote]
