The BIG question….
Why is everything the Democrats despise two things simultaneously:
Everything they hate are the very engines that makes this country work and innovate and succeed.
And everything they hate is BIG. BIG business. BIG oil. BIG pharmaceutical companies.
I’d turn the tables and complain more about the things that really hurt this country. BIG unions. BIG education lobby. BIG government.
The idea of making something BIG is to make the individual feel small, that they are up against a behemoth machine that is out to crush them. In reality, the things the Dems hate that they call BIG are organizations of individuality, freedom, and choice. They things they embrace are top-down, monolithic freedom-stealers that they hope to have transfer the power of the individual over to the organizations they control.
I just got a silly-ass email from “Gov. Howard Dean”. I get these things all the time, and they make me laugh and cry at the same time.
This one is declaring the great and glorious unions. Has anyone asked Governor Dean why all the overly-unionized companies are laying off workers left and right ? Could it be that the unions demand such draconian and anti-capitalist pay, benefit, and retirement packages that the companies just can’t afford it anymore ?
These are the kinds of policies and directives that come from a class of people who believe only government can solves problems, and only organizations as ineffective as government can be effective. It’s sad. It’s dangerous. And unfortunately too many people believe it and buy into it.
God help us all.
