government giving income
The more the state gives to its citizens, the less they have to earn. That is the basic concept of the welfare state - you receive almost everything you need without having to earn any of it. About half of Americans now pay no federal income tax - but they receive all government benefits just as if they had paid for, i.e., earned them.
giving individual experiments
The whole American experiment has been predicated on giving individuals as much control over their own lives as possible.
believe giving taxation
I believe that the levels of taxation advocated by liberals render those taxes a veiled form of theft. 'Give me more than half of your honestly earned money or you will be arrested' is legalized thievery.
government volunteer giving
The bigger the government, the less the citizens do for one another. If the state will take care of me and my neighbors, why should I? This is why Western Europeans, people who have lived in welfare states far longer than Americans have, give less to charity and volunteer less time to others than do Americans of the same socioeconomic status.
giving firsts opinion
First tell the truth, then give your opinion.
giving joy etc
Maximize that which gives you joy: friends, hobbies, religion, etc
america beauty district extreme guaranteed might move opposed party run system
When you are guaranteed you will win, you can take very inflammatory, very extreme positions. If you have to run in a district where where you might lose, you will move to the center. That is the beauty of the two party system in America as opposed to the parliamentary system in Europe.
evil perfect people
Although images of perfection in people's personal lives can cause unhappiness, images of perfect societies - utopian images - can cause monstrous evil. In fact, forcefully changing society to conform to societal images was the greatest cause of evil in the twentieth century.
party libertarian-party libertarian
The Libertarian Party is a shameful party
practice asks knows
You know what I ask Jewish liberals? 'Why don't you preach what you practice?'
moving weather california
Virtually throughout its history, and certainly in the 20th century, California has been known as the place to go for dynamism and growth. It did not become the richest, most populous, and most productive state solely because of its weather and natural resources. So it takes a lot to turn California around from growth to contraction, from people moving into the state to a net exodus from the state, from business moving into California to businesses leaving California. It takes some doing. And the Left has done it.
hate heart praise
I don't let the hate go to my heart, and I don't let the praise go to my head.
feel-good choices life-choices
You have a choice in life very often whether you do good or you feel good.

Utopian movements produce dystopias.
