We disagree on the role of government in the lives of individuals. I believe people should be responsible for their own well being, be it monetary, healthcare, work, etc. It should not be the government's job to provide these for the individual.
The government should concern itself with security. It should be the #1 priority, because without it there is no country to bitch about.
