Big Government is a blunt force tool of coercion; nothing more.

Got this in an email. I so obviously agree with it that I just had to share it with you. :P

Big Government is a blunt force tool of coercion – nothing more.

• It doesn't inspire so much as it intimidates.

• It is not the place of hopes and dreams; it is the place of power and grandiose pomposity.

• It exists by taking from one party, to earn the support of another recipient party.

• It is ultimately captured by the very interests it claims to regulate, in what alternates as a protection racket and a corporate welfare scheme.

• It's a drag on our productive economy.

* It rewards incompetence, and pensions sloth.

* It disdains the moral character of citizens because it believes it knows best how to care for the citizenry's children, aging parents, and neighbors.

• And yes, it even kills people. Whether it's the more subtle damage done in the name of protecting us from bad drugs, or the more obvious carnage of war.

Big Government is the deadliest disease on our planet.

Mark, I don't have much to argue with there. However, I think prudent regulation might have avoided this current mess we are in. As for inspiration, I believe Obama will try to provide that. What he might inspire us to, I have some trepidation there.
