Why do the Liberal have so much faith in the Govt.?

Question

Socialism don't not make for growing economies.

Congress have low approval rating.

why elect Obama and get more Govt. programs

Answer 1

First let's clarify liberal and socialism,

not the same thing, using them interchangabily is called conflation.

Government works compared to no government.

it is that easy to grasp.

The money in politics from both parties corrupts the purpose of government.

The goal is democracy, the imput of those who live under a social contract to defend one another, and provide an enviroment that allows for the pursuit of personal freedom and happiness.

When you use the term socialism you distort what you think you mean.

the opposite of socialism isn't democracy,

is it?

the oppostite of socialism is capitalism.

our system is a democracy. (clear?)

When the people choose representives, they choose the representatives they deserve.

if the people don't particpate, the people who do have more power.

the money from special interest has more power.

To be fair the Bush admin expanded govt, to record levels, they just didn't want to pay for it. (i.e the record deficit)

Answer 2

Thats where a lot of them get their free handouts and monthly checks.

Answer 3

Its the only teet they've ever known.  

Answer 4

It's blind faith for some of the dreamers; the minorities are just on board for the next hand-out..

Answer 5

In the mean time you trust that Bush or McCain will keep you safe...

How anti American can you be when you don't trust your government?

Answer 6

They get rewarded by the government for underachievement and having babies. This is the only country that rewards people for having kids they can not take care of go ahead kick a few more out the tax payers got the bill covered , oh yes and remember vote democrat if you wanna keep seeing the check on the first of every month .

Answer 7

The day the government deducts $0.00 in tax money from my income is the day I will no longer expect anything from the government, and it may do as it pleases. But as long as I pay taxes, I insist on having a say in what the government needs to do for ME. You're s******g yourself over by not making demands of the government, cuz it sure as h**l is taking advantage of you.

Answer 8

I believe government should pay for this country's infrastructure, education, health care, etc. I'm paying taxes for a reason..not to give welfare to corporations. You don't want big government. But here's what happens:

The US gov. won't pay so the states have to pay. The states won't pay, so the counties have to pay. It's coming out of your property taxes, bub.And half of it will stay broken.You're still gonna pay. You might as well divide it amongst all Americans rather than a few in your county or city. It's gonna cost you more in the long run.

Answer 9

Wel, you have to admit that the "neo conservatives' over the past 8 years grew the government more than any "liberal" administration has in the past.    Go back 8 years and ask "Why elect George W Bush and get the Department of Homeland Security, and throw out our constitution and bill of rights, and get us into a war that cost 1 trillion so far, not to mention 4500 soldiers lives, 35000 soldiers heath.  

The biggest spenders always say the "other side" is the big spenders.  

Answer 10

Government programs that are not based on ideology or political biases are more likely to run more smoothly and not waste excessive tax dollars.  Unfortunately, for the last 8 years, we have witnessed unbridled cronyism, suppression of scientific fact, and in overwhelming increase in pork projects (during the Republican Congress) and the largess of government spending with the Medicare prescription drug coverage bill that benefits only Big Pharma.  Let's not even delve into the trillion dollar war or Big Oil.  

Answer 11

Speaking as a flaming liberal, I have absolutely no faith in the government.  Zilch.  

From my experience, it seems like conservatives are the ones with all the faith.  As long as it is something they want to believe, faith is never a problem.  

Answer 12

liberals have NO faith in this govt.. that's why we're trying to take it back

cia/daddy bush rigged and stole the elections to install his puppet son for the new world order

baby bush then quickly resumed following the new world order agenda of destroying this country..

making all his corporate friends filthy rich along the way

and no dem in history.. has spend 1/4 what bush has..

so dont give me this liberal spend c**p.,

judging by all these posts.. seems the republicans have outsourced their lie, spam, disinformation office out to some third world country.

Answer 13

Don't need a gun rob taxpayers, that's only about 1/2 of us.

Answer 14

At least there would be more money spent on education where people like you could learn proper grammar.

Answer 15

Because liberalism is a mild form of communism.  

Communists like to control everything through govt.  

Answer 16

Liberals lack personal responsibility.  They have to have faith in the government.
