Helpful government
Government from local to national is deciding what is "best" for us. California wants to put remote control thermostats in homes because the government knows best. California has decided that children cannot be home schooled unless the parent has a teaching certificate because the government knows best. Mississippi has a bill pending in the legislature that fat people (as defined by the state) cannot be served in restaurants because the government knows best. Texas tells people they cannot play eight liner machines that pay out too much because the government knows best. The United States government tells us what time it is because the government knows best. I'm tired of the government telling me what is best. I want to return to the days when I was allowed to decide for myself what is best.

The government knows best.
Government, from local to federal, is more and more deciding what is best for us.  California wants to put remote control thermostats into homes because the government knows best.  California also wants to forbid home schooling unless the parent has a teaching certificate because the government knows best.  Mississippi has a bill pending in the legislature that, if passed into law, would prohibit fat people (as defined by the state) from being served in restaurants.  Texas tells citizens that they cannot play 8-liner machines that pay out too much because the government knows best.  A bill has been introduced into the U.S. Congress that would require postings on the internet to contain the actual name of the person posting because the government knows best.   The U.S. government tells us when the sun can rise because the government knows best.  Closed circuit cameras are becoming ever more pervasive because the government knows best.  Some legislators want to use GPS technology to keep track of our cars because the government knows best.  Enough!  I want to return to the days when I decided what was best for me.

Then pay attention to those running for office that tell everyone they will give them everything you need free, housing, medical care, fair wages, protection from this and that, bail outs for those that signed a stupid loan,...then vote for the other person.

 

PLEASE SAVE US FROM OURSELVES!!
