But when you want to give all the tax breaks to the people who dont need them (the rich) and people who dont make good on those tax breaks with job creation (the corporations)...."big government" is indeed needed.
When you refuse to give people (all people)-adults, teenagers, elderly, intelligent people, not so intelligent people, people between jobs, kids just out of college, etc-a fair and decent wage that they are able to pay their bills with and pay their rent with and buy groceries with and get their car fixed when needed, etc. then "big government" is needed.
When your answer to every conflict abroad is to invade countries, steel what you want, destroy everything else and kill whoever gets in your way even if it cost the lives of 4500+ American troops then somebody has to step up and say enough is enough. Somebody has to say there are better ways to solve these issues without massive bloodshed that will only lead to more bloodshed ten years down the road. And if you want to call whoever steps up to say this, "big government" then so be it.
When you discriminate against women by denying them things like equal pay or when you place the blame of rape upon the rape victim instead of the suspect then "big government" is needed. Besides, Republicans are all for "big government" when it comes to things like abortion and birth control.
When you discriminate against the LGBT community by denying them their right to marry the person they love, thus denying them the same benefits that people who make that commitment are entitled to, thus denying them the right to start a family by adopting kids (ya know, the same kids that were protected by Republican abortion regulations and are now-not suprisingly-just bouncing around from foster home to foster home suffering through the system....) then "big government" is needed.
When you refuse to believe in the facts of science (global warming, evelution, etc.) or just dont care enough about the facts to do anything good with your power then "big government" is needed. When you allow for the unsafe practices of oil drilling-like fracking-to destroy the earth beneath our communities then "big government" is needed. When you take bribes and "donations" in return for letting these non-environmental friendly companies and corporations pollute our land and dump waste into our streams, rivers, lakes and oceans then "big government" is needed.
When you consistantly lie about sensable gun control laws and scare people into believing our "big government" wants to take their guns away (one of the biggest and most dangerous Republican lies out there today) just to please the NRA who handsout billions of dollars to these Republicans for their lies-all while innocent people pointlessly fall victim to gun violence week after week after week then "big government" is needed.
So you see? "Big government" is needed. When it comes down to it, there is only one real reason why Republicans in this country hate "big government". That reason is greed. Plain and simple. Pure and arrogant greed. And its funny because those same Republicans are actually for "big government" and "big government" regulations when it comes to things like immigration, welfare and as mentioned before, abortion and birth control. But of course, the reason for their support of "big government" on these issues is yup, you guessed it...greed.
If we dont change our ways, greed will probably kill us all before any flood...or astroid strike...or solar explosion...or zombie apocolypes...or ISIS...or Ebola or WWIII or even Judgement Day for all you Christians out there. We must change this society in which greed has become the norm and rules our lives or that same greed will inevitably destroy us all.
If you're one of those people who think they hate "big government" for the reasons above, you should think twice about it and ask yourself...do I really hate "big government" or do I just hate the reason we need "big government"? Republicans.
