Tea Party "dying on the wrong hill"?

Quote from 377OHMS:

I read your post completely.

Ricter, do you think it is appropriate for the federal government to control/spend fully 25% of GDP?

That's just the feds, the budget for the entire US public sector [paid by taxes] is about 50% of GNP. We must be about at the breaking point where the taxation rate kills off the taxpayer...
 
Quote from seneca_roman:

IMO, the current debate is not about debt but rather what is the proper role of government in society.

Dems and Obama want to move more towards a Euro nanny state, and the "Tea Party" wants to move towards a "less is better" approach. The debt and deficits are the chosen tool for this debate.

I would like Ricter to answer. I asked sincerely with respect. The question deserves an answer.

Personally if I believe something I have no reluctance to state that belief if asked. I don't duck for cover, dodge or obfuscate.

I believe the government should not control such a high percentage of the productivity of this country. It doesn't align with American ideals that the country was founded on. If that lands me on somebody's ignore list that is completely appropriate.
 
Indeed. The government will spend every cent it has at its disposal. A lot of it will go to bureaucratic waste. With such high job security at the government a huge percentage of the money would not go to good use. Let the citizen keep more of their money and invest it within their own community. It makes no sense routing money from your home to the fed then back to the original community when you can just go directly from the individual to the community.

The following is proven over and over: Reduce taxation rates and tax revenue increases. It is indisputable. Why would the Dems be so willing to ignore that fact?

I think the reason is that they want income redistribution. Obama said that himself quite literally.
