The Difference Between Limited Government and many Democrats

Rep. Phillis King (D) Boise said of a bill, "Just look at the number of people we can take care of if we pass this bill." (HCR 42)

Let there be no mistake, I am not going to take care of you using taxpayer money. Is government suppose to "take care" of people? It seems that in order for government to "take care" of you; government must have the power to reach into your pocket book, use the wealth that you created, and then pick winners and losers.

My approach is much different. I see government as providing an organized predictable framework within which you can work and produce and take care of yourself. To me this is the genius of the American system.

Rep. King's statement really summarizes the difference between limited and unlimited government.
