Liberalism is stupid because it thinks calling on the Government is the same as praying to God. They think that Government can split the 5 loaves and feed 5,000. Liberalism has no concept that there is no Santa Claus, money doesn't grow on trees, and Government cannot provide unlimited programs to people who want them: Government doesn't generate any Domestic Product.
All Government can do is take a limited amounted of wealth from people to transfer it elsewhere. Government first transfers wealth to itself in creating overhead. So, the limited amount of wealth that is to be transferred is first gobbled up by bureaucrats, Government agencies, and Government employees. Then, there's the problem of fraud, mismanagement, waste, and theft.
So, take a limited amount of resources and move to pour them through a funnel where much of the resources are wasted just by moving them through Government in the first place.
Then, take a look at this. Government is NOT CAPABLE of seeing the big picture. Government says, "There's a problem over there!". Government takes money by force from the whole of the economy to re-allocate those resources to a problem. Does Government solve the problem?? No. But it does re-allocate resources to itself, fraud, waste, mismanagement, and theft in order to funnel money to the problem. A greater problem is this: when law forces resources on the basis of "problem-resolution".... it's taken a limited amount of resources away from the larger economy that Government has no power to replace.
The nation as a whole is made POORER. There are less resources now to go elsewhere in areas of the economy where those resources COULD HAVE grown more wealth.
You see, in the PRIVATE SECTOR - there is no such thing as a "shrinking pie". Why?? Because in the PRIVATE SECTOR - money makes money. Ever hear the saying, "It takes money to make money??" Well, it's the private sector which produces Domestic Product and uses money to make money. It's the PRIVATE SECTOR which creates wealth for all of us in an economy. In the private sector, the money makes more money. There is no "shrinking pie"... more like rabbits breeding.
However, when the GOVERNMENT takes money out of the private sector to spend on "problems" - the pie begins to shrink. Why?? Because the GOVERNMENT does not produce Domestic Product or wealth. Only the free market of the private sector produces Domestic Product and wealth - money making money. The GOVERNMENT is a CONSUMER of money and a SHRINKER of the PIE of an economy.
Liberals are stupid because they want to take all of the money of an economy and give it to the WASTREL who consumes it rather than leave the money in the hands of those who take money to make money and produce wealth for the society.
Liberals are stupid because they create a shrinking pie through GOVERNMENT instead of leaving money in the PRIVATE SECTOR where pies are expanded and made without limit.
When you take good money and throw it after problems - that's what you're going to produce as a result: problems. You're not going to solve those problems. You're merely going to allow hard working people and creators of wealth to be dragged down to the same level as those who create problems: zero.
That's what causes Great Depressions. GOVERNMENT taking money from the PRIVATE SECTOR and forcing money towards PROBLEMS government cannot solve.
Pretty quick, a problem-focussed economy where money flows to the problems instead of the creators of wealth is going to crash.
So, the PROOF is in the pudding.
I'm going to take the money away from GOVERNMENT and put it back into the hands of the middle class. Big business is no different than GOVERNMENT once big business starts using GOVERNMENT to funnel money to itself based on it's power. That's organized crime.
Small businesses and the middle class are the strength of our society. Liberalism is stupid. GOVERNMENT becomes the BIGGEST PROBLEM once it starts using it's power to funnel money to problems and big business. Pretty quick, there is no middle class.
Well, that's going to "change". It's the middle class and small business which - when left alone - produces an expanding pie which best serves a nation and it's problems through charity.
If you want the job done right, do it yourself. See a "problem"?? Then go fix it. Start a private charitable organization and go fix the problem. But don't ask Government to fix it for you. Government doesn't FIX PROBLEMS - Government FUNDS PROBLEMS. Government isn't an unlimited source of money and government doesn't create wealth. Government is a CONSUMER that ERODES the MONEY CREATING POWER of a nation's PRIVATE SECTOR, eats all the pie, and leaves everyone looking for crumbs.
Enough.
I see a problem. The problem is Government, Big Business, and Liberalism. I'll fix it. I'll defund and shrink them all so we can have an expanding pie.
The rest of you see any problems - go fix them yourselves through your own charitable efforts. Pray to God, perhaps. But don't call on Government to fix anything your private charity cannot. If you can't fix it, Government won't either. If you want the job done right, do it yourself.
Liberalism is stupid.
