Any conversation with a leftard on the subject of big government will eventually result in them attempting to squelch the argument with the canard “So you don’t want roads?  Police?  Trash Pickup?”  and the rest of ther litany of bullshit.

The only proper response to this is “No, buttmunch.  What I want is for government to keep to its place.”

Those things are its place.  It makes no sense to have a competing set of police, firefighters, and courts.  It makes no sense for the country to be criscrossed by a set of private (And would have to be toll) roads.  It makes no sense to have multiple currencies.  It makes no sense to have competing armies.

Competing trash pickup and schools?  Yeah, might make a lot of sense.  Especially if I can say “No, not sending my kids to your pathetic Publick Skules, they suck.  I’l deduct that from my tax return.”

What I don’t want is things that are not the government’s place.

Corporate welfare.  Let them die.

Funding of “arts.”  Get a job if you can’t get an audience.

Layers of useless bureaucracy.

I’m tired of stupidity in spending.

I’m tired of departments that race to spend every last nickel out of their budget for fear it will be cut if they don’t.

I’m tired of spending two million dollars on a bridge that you’ve got to spend a million on every ten years to upkeep.  Just spend 5 million, do it right, and not fuck with it for a hundred years.

I’m tired of school systems that spend three million dollars to remodel the office of the new superintendant, and then cut the employment of 54 teachers - with an average salary of 40K, about $2,200,00.00 - because there is “no money” to pay them, and then mumble about “Different funds.”

I’m tired of subsidizing parasites to have fourteen children by artificial insemination and not lift a finger to support them.

I’m tired of sending money to Washington to have them take a cut and send less back to my own state.

I’m tired of funding useless studies.  I don’t particularly care about the sexual proclivities of Tsetse Flies.

I’m tired of paying for limos for Washington fatkats.

I’m tired of paying for cocktail parties serving Wagyu beef in the White House.

I’m tired of paying for panelled offices and teak desks for congresscritters

I’m tired of the waste, fraud and corruption.

I’m tired of over-regulation.

I’m tired of some shitheel in Washington deciding they know better than me how to manage my life.

I’m tired of wasting money to police nanny-state laws.  I’m not impressed when someone in a bar complains, “Here I am, drinking my brain-cell killing booze, lstening to music played at ear-splitting decibels, trying to pick up this woman so I can get in my car, drive drunk to her house, have unprotected sex with her - and this guy is blowing SMOKE into the air!”

I’m tired of spending Billions for foreign oil when we have enough oil to run for two hundred years sitting in our own country, and we can’t drill for it because some reindeer or something might have to walk a mile away to graze on grass that is growing EVERYWHERE.

Stop wasting money.

Stop wasting time.

Stop wasting resources.

Then we will have enough money for roads, cops, firemen, decent teachers, trash pickup, a state of the art army which can defend us, and so on.  You know - the LEGITIMATE functions of government.

I’m tired of giving free rides to illegal migrants who have no business being here.

I’m tired of having some image of a hungry child or scared old person held up everytime I say that one more tax, one more tax increase, is too much.  Stop all of the above BULLSHIT and maybe there won’t be a shortage of “funding” to feed them.
