Not about political parties. I want to share a conversation and get your input/feedback.
------
Why does a thief steal? To get food for himself and his family. Maybe he wants drugs and cannot afford them. Maybe he wants fancy electronics. He (the thief) makes no bones about it. You have money and he has a gun aimed at you and he takes your money. He does not pretend he is stealing from you for your own good. He will use his money for his own benefit, not yours. It is a crime, you and the theif both know it. Even he is ging to call it that if someone steals from him what he stole from you.
But the government takes our money and says it will spend it better than we can. It says it is doing it for our own good, whether we approve or not. And it never admits what it does is a crime. It does not wait for our permission before it decided what to buy with our money either.
