Who Supports Big Government?

The government which robs Peter to pay Paul can always depend on the support of Paul.
– George Bernard Shaw

If you tax the working man to support the slothful, you will always have the support of the slothful.

If you tax the lower classes to bail out the wealthy, you will always have the support of the wealthy.

If you tax the independent worker to bail out the union, you will always have the support of the union.

If you increase government jobs, which is paid for by private taxpayers, you will always have the support of government employees.

If you give government employees a raise while the taxpayers’ economies are in turmoil, you will always have the support of government employees.

About the author: cominus

Cominus is the pen-name for Dean Isaacson, who got involved in the GOP in 1983, the year my son was born. Chairman of the Snohomish County Republican Central Committee (Washington) 1990 to 1992. Conducted legal research for the late Supreme Court Justice William C. Goodloe for several years. In 1996, succeeded him to lead Judicial Forum (the year before he passed away). Moved to Idaho in 1999 and still reviews judicial candidates in the State of Washington. My core belief is you will choose to serve God or you will serve the state - tyrants, as William Penn called it.

    Solomon wrote there will be no end of the writing of books. If he lived now, he would decry the endless cacophony of electronic verbiage. Page after page of endless, mindless tripe. People selling something; people saying something. No body reading anything! If the page doesn't have pictures, [click] the viewer is gone. Everyone is looking for entertainment. No one is looking for substance. But we keep on writing and we think someone will read it. Oh, how we deceive ourselves -- convinced of our own immortality. Words, words, words . . . - cominus
