I was just having a discussion with a gentleman tonight, and we were noticing how politicians & government employees generally are always looking for more money first, worrying about reduced revenue second, and never get around to considering cost savings or budget cuts.  They act like inverted capitalists... thinking it is their job to increase company revenues, first and foremost.  If they worked as hard at saving on expenses as business folk do on earning their money, governments could run on dimes instead of dollars.

Good point.

Why are we electing progressives who are siding with the government?  Why would anyone want to be a stakeholder for them? 
Makes no sense to those favor liberty.
