May 2013

People who get into government to impede and eliminate the benefits of government should actually be the first to go. If you want to drown the process in a bathtub, (so that neo-Fascist corporate interests can practice their neoliberal love) then at least step-up and be our sacrificial rubber duck.

In that sense, smaller government in the form of political liposuction is fine with me. We don't need any more ideological oxymorons upchucking their agendas all over our well being.

Signal for the U-turn before you make it.
