YOU are the problem
I've always enjoyed this forum. But, after reading for some time, I have come to the conclusion that YOU (and I include myself in that) are the problem. We all think that WE are right because we all think pretty much along the same lines (conservative, etc.). But, from the comments I see on this forum, YOU are the problem just as much as people that think differently than YOU.
Below are some examples from this very forum:
1. You love capitalism and are quick to tell socialist how great it is. BUT, as soon as something that YOU want to buy is "expensive", you cry about the price and want something done. I've seen it on boats, houses, UTVs, land, trucks, farming equipment, etc.
2. You hate welfare and are quick to tell socialist how terrible it is. BUT, YOU love when YOU get a government handout. I see it in farming subsidies, purchasing more public land, increasing funding to manage public land or wildlife, laws or funding that benefit business, etc. The list could go on forever, because a lot of government spending is welfare for someone/something (anything other the core functions of defense, infrastructure, and judicial).
3. You cry about government red tape and too many laws. BUT, when one of your hobbies or interests isn't going like YOU want, YOU want more laws and restrictions put in place so it can be how YOU like it.
All this to say, YOU are just as much of the problem as the next man. Take ownership of that and make the world better and not just a better version for YOU.
