Can we please just split the country in half and let the morons who want larger government have it? Let them have the communism they are so aching to have. Eventually, they’ll set up a gulag system like the old Soviet Union, kill all the best people as “enemies of the people” and collapse. It’s the oldest story in the book and these idiots keep wanting to repeat it. I, for one, am sick of trying to stop them, but I don’t want to fund their stupid experiments. So long as they keep it on their side of the fence, let them have their “workers paradise”. Sure, in a way, it’s a human rights violation to willingly let people enslave themselves to their government, but it’s ridiculous the amount of energy conservatives and libertarians have to spend to stop these people politically, as well as the amount of despondency experienced by conservatives and libertarians when we simply lack the votes to stop bad legislation, a la the prescription drug entitlement. If that energy could be put into building our economy and civil institutions, the part of the country that doesn’t want anything to do with “big government” would be even more successful at wealth creation than it is now, when it creates the vast majority of the wealth the parasite class uses for its tax and spend schemes. I’m willing to let tens of millions of liberals fight over redistributed scraps from the piddling economic activity an economy run by bureaucrats would generate. Hopefully, they’ll kill each other off quicker than the old Soviets did. Then, also hopefully, that’ll finally be that for the idea of “big government” on this planet.
