The government never does anything for you. Vote for me and I'll make sure it does even less!
I actually need the government to ‘help’ me less.
Much much less please. Just let me take care of myself and my family and stay the fuck out of my pockets and my life.
None of us are an "Army of One", none of us can do it all alone. We need each other. We're stronger together, than apart.
And part of that means we tithe to each other for common cause, to "lift all boats".
And we should definitely have intellectually honest conversations to decide what is needed to 'lift all boats'.
But if one side is just trying to constantly throw wrenchs into the machinery to prevent having to tithe to the common good, then the center will not hold.
