Hope. Change. Hope. Change.
Such is the slogan of a presidential candidates. It sounds so "hopeful." Apparently, since this candidate's campaign really has taken off, American's are quite hungry for a message of hope and change. Yet this politician has hope in all the wrong places. He's placing it entirely in the fact that he is a politician and can give people what they want for their hope... "free" healthcare, more government support of education, more entitlements.
This type of change may be welcome by many but for those who possess common sense realize that there's "no such thing as a free lunch" even when it is the government that's making the promise. The government can't just create money (without inflation anyway) so the resources have to come from somewhere. The government gets it's money from the people.
So obviously, the people's source of hope is the government and the government's source of resources is the individual taxpayers. There's something wrong with logic that goes in circles like that. The people end up as the resource of their "hope" in the long run anyway.
So why have the middleman government to begin with? Why not just get the big middleman government out of the way and let the people determine their future? America is great because it was founded on a principle of individual people exercising individual freedom. That's commonsense politics.
