Corruption probably does exist on both sides. But, in a two party system one has to decide which side is in line with the fundamental ideals that you, as a person subscribe to.
Originally posted by VariableI think that Government is good at very few things, they take money from people who work for a living and they decide what to spend it on based on what they think will get them elected again. The best government is a small government; the best way to limit the power of the government is to limit the amount of money they can take from people. That means simply to cut taxes. The side benefit of a smaller government is there are fewer people who can impinge on our freedoms (this is a broad subject). Every day the government is in session they pass laws, those laws take rights that exist today and delete them. Some of this is good, but in the main, it is my opinion, that the bad outweighs the good. Government cannot, in and of itself, produce jobs and grow the economy. They are consumers, not producers. Freedom of action, access to capital and ideas are what make the United States the strongest country the world has ever known.
