Dear Mr. Arnt, It has been proven over and over again throughout history that the less the government takes in taxes and largesse, the better off the culture is as the individuals are more able to fend for themselves and are stronger. Survival of the fittest is still the rule of the jungle. So, next time someone talks about another government program, ask if it is really needed, the cost to benefit ratio, ask them and others why can't we do it ourselves, a private sector program or other arrangement? After all, the government will mess up things in a much bigger way. I really feel for you guys over there.
