Melvin, think how much taxes could be lowered if we rolled back the welfare state.

The welfare state will be our downfall — it is economically unsustainable, even if illegal immigration into the U.S. is stopped completely. Yet conservatives want to ignore a problem that promises to bankrupt us and instead focus on a problem that, at most, accelerates the bankrupting slightly. Why is that?

Poll after poll shows that conservatives in this county outnumber liberals about 2 to 1. Why, then, do liberals suceed in an endless expansion of the welfare state? The answer is that conservatives let them get away with it.
