It is a very bad idea for governments to create arbitrary and unfair outcomes, or outcomes resulting from the passions and whims of the government rather than from the law, just because they have the power to do so.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
There is something fundamentally unfair about a government that takes away so much of people's money, power, and personal control while telling them that life will be better as a result.
Government is essentially immoral.
It seems to me that an unjust law is no law at all.
The government don't want to talk about the consequences of the choices they make. They pretend there aren't any consequences.
What do you think, what people want from their governments? Simple. A better life for themselves and for their children. Government that is fair, just and responsible.
If you're not going to have consequences to a bad decision or to mislead Congress or any other aspect of life, that only incubates people to hatch bigger ideas that are not forthright and not abiding by the law.
Nothing turns out to be so oppressive and unjust as a feeble government.
Government ought to make it easy for people to do the right thing.
If the law is a bad law, there is always the contingent right to take action that you would not otherwise take.
Life in general has never been even close to fair, so the pretense that the government can make it fair is a valuable and inexhaustible asset to politicians who want to expand government.
