It is an illusion to have high government expenses, growing debt and

Don't try to duck the issue - you are envious of those who are
"better off" than you. That remains the underlying issue: envy, and a
desire to punish the rich. You have it, I don't.

And the government buys your soul by promising to do things better
for you that don't necessarily need to be done, promising to take it
form "The Other Guy".


For most people that take Iggy's opinion on this I'd agree with you on your opinion. I
don't believe Iggy is envious of anyone.

Personally, he may not be. Personally, he may be as honest as the
summer days is long. But that does not change the fact that the
values he espouses are not honest, and are rooted in envy. If the
government is entitled to a "fair" share of your money, who decides
what is "fair"? We're from the Government, and we're here to help
you.

Do people really believe that other people are better able to
direct "your" life than you are? Apparently. Apparently, they forgot
about back to school shopping with their mother.
