Why do liberals want to live free, but elect officials who want more government?

Libs want freedom from responsibility, so they will gladily hand over there rights to the goverment if that means they can be shealter from any of lifes problems. If this actaully worked it would be worth a try, however Thomas Jefferson quote that a goverment powerful enough to give you everything is powerful enough to take everything you have has been proven true to many times in history for me to beleive that it is a good idea.

What can be expected when a person who wants to be President is stupid enough to say cut food stamps for the poor and their children and that old people should go get their own medical insurance and not get Medicaid. Then he that is thinks the rich are unfairly treated in the US because there is a deficit and it makes their country weak, so that makes them feel bad, so we should do with out food because they can open a supermarket and be the Govt. After that what would be is the rich will be Kings and we would have a monarch Govt. Liberals are trying to be sane humans

Why do conservatives want to live free, but elect officials who want more government?

I'm very serious. Republicans seem to want very little intrusion in their lives, but they keep electing people who think they know better how we need to live our lives and make laws that infringe upon our personal choices.

i understand you do no longer particularly decide on 'libs' to respond to this question, you're finding for somebody to trust you. yet you asked, so right here is going. 8^) i'm approximately as liberal as anybody right here. no one particularly thinks something is 'loose'. It bothers me to hearken to human beings say 'loose' wellbeing care, or perhaps us libs do it (Michael Moore, for occasion). we are particularly only arguing over how we pay for it. Are public streets and roads loose? No. however the unfavorable are as waiting to apply them because of the fact the prosperous. Is police protection loose? of course no longer, however the assumption is which you call the police once you desire a cop and the cop comes (finally) regardless of while you're prosperous or unfavorable. further and further human beings interior the US are thinking we could desire to consistently see wellbeing care this manner, a minimum of a undeniable point of wellbeing care. As for tax fees for the prosperous, nicely i don't have a subject with having some progressivity interior the tax code. the only right circumstances we've had in this united states have been all circumstances of innovative income tax. The Nineteen Fifties, for occasion. the prosperous -get- extra from govt., so that they are able to handle to pay for to pay slightly extra. i think of they could desire to pay their honest proportion, do no longer you? Or do you think of the prosperous are 'heroes' and deserve particular breaks? loose college, nicely we used to have loose college and it replaced into well worth it. At one time we had the optimal proportion of faculty grads interior the international, because of the GI bill. as quickly as I went to a state college in California it fee me $50/term (plus books, lab expenditures, etc.) In maximum progressed countries you could bypass to any college or uni. you could qualify for at public fee. and that they are doing lots extra effectual now because of the fact of it. loose housing? in all probability no longer. yet our govt. does lots to help us get housing, like the non-public loan interest deduction for components vendors. The extra individuals who very own their very own residences, the extra effectual off all of us are, because of the fact the extra people who've a stake interior the country, the extra stability and 'kin tranquility' we've. people who've no longer something have no longer something to lose.

They have never learned a basic principal of life : When much is given, much will be expected.

wasn't it the repubs who proposed the vaginal probe law? that sounds like big government to me.
