If you somehow think government creates wealth, how is that possible given the entire government and all public sector jobs are funded solely by extracting wealth from the private sector, i.e. the remaining people who have produced it (meaning the only people who have produced actual wealth)? Perhaps you don't understand the entire concept and fundamental structure of government. Government growth depresses real GDP, reduces wealth and drives capital away. I wonder what you have read or been taught to have been convinced otherwise. Truly I wonder as I find it simply mind-boggling.

I wish people would see if the government controls the purse strings then they control you. I agree that a lot of people on the left are intolerant; just look at "Hollywood." They make movies that tear down morality, glorify drugs and gun use then moralize to others on how to live. Our country is so divided. I have found in my life in regard to my alcoholic son that the more my husband and I give him the more entitled he feels. People have to get God back in their lives. anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09838230093510715385noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2530451786669304321.post-36366840976464491152017-07-02T11:27:02.783-04:002017-07-02T11:27:02.783-04:00Leaving aside your ideas about creating wealth, I ...Leaving aside your ideas about creating wealth, I have a question about your God idea: In a world of 4,000 sects and religions, either one is true or they're all false. Aren't there as many gods as human brains to imagine god? What then is God? Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00662043267495139378noreply@blogger.com
