More government isn't going to help you get ahead. It's going to hold you back. More government isn't going to create more opportunities. It's going to limit them.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Faced with a deep recession, some say the answer is to expand the role of government.
Government isn't that good at rapid advancement of technology. It tends to be better at funding basic research. To have things take off, you've got to have commercial companies do it.
For years governments have been promising more than they can deliver, and delivering more than they can afford.
Right now, if you're a talented developer or designer, government is what you go into if you can't get a better job.
It is true that too many people are not getting a fair opportunity to get ahead. We must find ways to help them move up the economic ladder, and everyone - business, government, and nonprofits - needs to play a role.
Government can encourage innovation, but mainly by doing less, not doing more.
What you really want to do is sit down and find a place that you can control government spending and raise more revenue.
The more you can increase fear of drugs and crime, welfare mothers, immigrants and aliens, the more you control all the people.
There's huge opportunities to continue to improve efficiency in the way the government operates and improve the way government provides services to its citizens.
I'm not against government involvement in times of need. I am for recognizing that big public companies will continue to cut jobs in an effort to prop up stock prices, which in turn stimulates the need for more government involvement.
