In attempt to understand liberals? ?

I'm at a loss where liberals love large governments.

I'm of the persuasion that government should be as small as possible. Take DMV for example. These people hate their jobs, hate us (The consumer), and get paid vastly above what they are worth.

The entire DMV *could* be taken care of online. However, liberals seem to think that the DMV "Creates Jobs" and etc, etc. This is just one miniscule example of the thousands of ways that our government squanders our dollar on every whim.

Then, when they run out of money because of dumb policy, they just raise taxes!!!

Why would anyone think that larger burocracies would solve anything"?

I believe in local government. The forgotten 10th Amendment should be read every day before a session of Congress.

I'll disagree, however, with your assessment of the DMV - a completely online approach is unworkable. I will submit, however, those so in favor of a national health insurance should remember the waiting times at the DMV when they get their next appointment.

I have less problem with State and local governments - the levels of corruption at the national level are staggering. Billions of dollars are spent at the blink of an eye. Scary sometimes.

You pretended to quote liberals as saying the DMV "creates jobs." What is your source for this silliness?

Also, I'd like to see your supporting examples of "small government" to support your argument.

Until then, not much of a conversation here.

In this day and age with Identity theft running rampant, only a complete and total fool would advocate turning the function of issuing drivers licenses over to the internet.

On the other hand, the conservatives think all the insanely wealthy people should be lightly taxed because they've "earned their money" (not that there aren't people who got there because of hard work), while over a third of our country is below the poverty line.

Don't try to understand. You'll never figure it out. They're a lost cause. Just persuade your undecided friends on how to vote.

Edit: then there are Liberals like Pro Deus Et Patria, who will try to confuse you with double speak because they think they are superior to you. Then, when you see through that they move to personal insults, then when that doesn't work they start to call you names like racist and homophobe in attempt to intimidate their opponents into silence.

more editing: I'd stick to labeling them as leftists, because they can't turn that around on you to try to invalidate you like you don't know what you're talking about. They're very skilled in deception and evasion of the truth. Neo-cons are just Globalist leftist Democrats masquerading as real Republicans.
