Lying Sack of S*** of The Week – Politicians who Promise “Small Government”

“Republicans” would have you believe that they are for smaller government. Mister Blunt and Cranky hates to bust your bubble, but this is not at all true. Not anymore, anyway.

Don’t believe it? Look at what they propose doing: monitoring and controlling women’s gynecological care; forcing us all to either be evangelical “Christians” or second-class citizens; making us all carry ID papers (like they did in Nazi Germany); criminalizing our bedroom activities, and so on. What is “small” about a government like that? Nada.

"Citizens United," voter suppression, electronic voting, privatization of public services, union-busting, etc. are not exclusive. They are all part of an overall plan to allow the plutocrats the opportunity to rule the world.

Government = "of, for, and by the people"
Corporation = "of, for, and by the Plutocrat"
