Argument against what?
Parroting "liberty, cut taxes, smaller government" and other nonsense?
An average republican goes around parroting ideas put into his/her head by Wall St Journal/Fox/Rush Limbaugh. He or she thinks that by cutting taxes deeply(for the rich) you make an economy explode with activity and force the government to be smaller. In reality, deficits explode and the middle class shrinks.
One of the things I could never understand even as a child is how is it possible to have small government with a big military? Reagan sure showed them how to cut government!
