Amalgamation

[Kodra24]

Ummm, no. Reagan's quote is: "The most terrifying words in the English language are: I'm from the government and I want to help."

Coulnd't have said it better myself - the less government interference in our lives the better

Great, so you don't get to use the public roads, you don't get healthcare--even private healthcare which is largely the product of government research grants, you don't even get to interact with anyone else in the society because we are all educated as a result of broad public education.

You can go live alone in the woods...except you cannot even do that without depending on society.

Reaganism is a denial of the reality that we are social creatures living in a communal society. You cannot live without depending on other people, this is an inherent human feature.

You can argue about the scale or distribution of power within a society but you cannot argue against it's existence, which is exactly what Reagan style conservatives pretend to do.

10/10 for taking what I said and completely twisting it around to suit your narrative

I did not say we do not need government - we need government to be as small as possible and as efficient as possible, you always have to remember that it is accountable to the people, and it certainly is none of those things right now

Do you honestly think the government has your best interest at heart?

Of course we are social creatures living in a communal society but how we depend on other people varies on what you mean - yes, I depend and expect city employees to do their job (via taxpayer funds) to maintain the roads just as much as I depend and expect the doctor to treat my injuries in a timely manner

I certainly don't need the government to tell me how to act, speak, think (obviously within the confines of the law) which it is increasingly eager to do
