[QUOTE="A2SG, post: 59475002, member: 227164"] First of all, as to whether or not government can create jobs, tell that to the millions of police officers, fire fighters, teachers, etc. who are employed by governments everywhere. Second, your point is disproven by reality. See, currently, corporate taxes are at an all time low. By your logic, that should translate to more jobs. But it hasn't. In fact, [URL="http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/ezra-klein/post/tax-rates-and-job-creation-in-one-graph/2011/05/19/AGh9Z1oH_blog.html"]a look at the actual facts proves the exact opposite[/URL]. So, obviously, that's not the reason the private sector hasn't created jobs lately. Nice slogan, but can you back it up? First, define your terms: what makes a government big? If you listen to the right wing, a small government would still have the ability to interfere with and make decisions on behalf of every single pregnant woman in the US, as well as making decisions about who every individual should be allowed to marry. Sounds like many a totalitarian or dictatorial regime, the likes of which have come and gone many times over the centuries. And yet, these are the people who claim to want small government. And if you look at the left wing, when they call for bigger government, what do they mean? Social programs, safety net stuff like welfare and unemployment, social security and medicare. You know, stuff that helps people. The very ones the government is supposed to be by, for and of. As to the accuracy of your statement, well, the US government certainly can be called big, at least since the Civil War or so, and it's survived up to now, and will in all likelihood continue to the forseeable future. Can you compare that to similarly big governments that have failed, or contrast it with smaller government that have survived longer? -- A2SG, let's see how well your slogan holds up to reality, shall we?
