Title: Your Government
Post by: GoodLuvn169 on June 29, 2004, 04:14:08 PM
The United States Government is way to big.  You Canadians live in socialism.  I don't care what country you live in, give me your opinion.

What kind of answer do you expect from someone that's not from America or Canada? ::) I don't get the point of your thread really :-\

American government does nothing but impede the progress of American citizens.  We're born with all the optimism and energy we need to succeed in our lives, we don't need the government butting in trying to help us succeed.  I say the government is way, way, WAY too fucking big, and should be severly phased back.  Lower taxes, less regulations on businesses, etc. and we'd all be much, much better off.

Definitely smaller government. We're all big boys and girls now, I think we as citizens can take on more responsibilities. The government should help the economy boom and protect us and leave it at that.

Canada's not really a socialist country, but it is headed in that direction.

I believe in smaller government.

Yes, American government is too big at the moment, BUT if we have minimal regulation on businesses then we will see the same thing we did with the "3 DO-NOTHING-PRESIDENTS" before FDR:  LOTS OF CORRUPTION. Even now we have large companies using tactics to get out of paying the taxes they should be. For example, setting up an office on an island in the Caribbean and calling that the headquarters when the company is clearly being run on mainland USA. I believe American government should be cut back to some extent, taxes are about right at the moment, and more regulation on big business
