Not really because when you break down your amorphous "big government" there's a lot of "Big Government™ that the American people want regardless of what party is in office.

Post #7 - vote yourself wealthy? Why? Bribery is more certain.

The hyper wealthy that own, among everything else, the Military suppliers, have figured out how to vote themselves Government money through propaganda and bribes a couple of centuries ago and have kept the gravy train running in their direction ever since. These people are "THE GREAT AMERICAN WELFARE CLASS".

Give em enough rope and let them hang themselves is the Democratic party's strategy against the GOP, and it worked in the last election.


My strategy is to wait until the money runs out.

In contrast with the conservatives/Republicans which believe in a government small enough to tell you who you can get married to and dictate that women must be forcibly vaginal probed.

Well, those who worship Reagan worship a man who grew government during his tenure despite loudly proclaiming government was the problem so what makes you believe either party really wants smaller government? The truth is neither party gives a rat's ass about growing the parts of government that benefit their own agendas.

Make up your mind. Do you want the government in your health care or not?
