Conservative Values

So let me get this straight: We don't want government in our lives or government to run anything. So that leaves, I'm assuming, the corporations to run everything and perhaps the military to run the rest. Isn't that what happened in Italy and Germany?

Government is set up to help the people. Unless you've never needed a business license, a school, a road, a fire or police department, a court, a post office etc. etc. People seem to forget that private corporations aren't set up to be the government. Yet conservatives keep touting the need for less government.

Love less government? Then you must love our current gas prices, food prices, healthcare costs, sub par educational system, Enron, mortgage mess and insert your other free-market success story. Government can actually help keep these things in check but there's a lot of people out there who would rather bask in all this wonderfulness.

P.S. In this country the government is you. If the country fails it's your fault.
