There is a lot more to governance than expenditures and safety nets. I'm starting to think we've been in a free society in the west so long that people have simply overlooked the history of large governments stifling industry and life. Limited government is a very big thing in the West, even in countries with very generous social programs.
- michaelmrose 6y agoCould you at least pick one so we can talk specifics?
- partiallypro 6y agoNo, because you already have made up your mind that big government is good and will associate any market friendly economy with big government automatically in your head instead of looking at it on a global/historical scale. So there's no real reason to waste my time.
- michaelmrose 6y agoYou make broad pronouncements and avoid talking about specifics because your argument is incorrect and indefensible. You say a statement is true of most western countries but can't name one in which you would be willing to dig deeper. You use glib pronouncements to hide the fact that your words lack substance. It's not your time that is being wasted.
