Bill Clinton called it “investment,” George W.

Politicians, by and large, don’t care about the people. They care first and foremost about the government. This may not be true of every single politician, but it’s true as a general trend and I cannot think of a single elected official at the moment who cares about the rights of the individual more than the well-being and power of the government. This is a bipartisan issue.

Politicians are elected to sacrifice the rights of all individuals for the sake of those in their narrow constituency groups. They were supposed to be elected to protect — equally — the rights of all individuals. American government in 2011 is a system of coercion designed to take the efforts of productive people and transfer those efforts to those who, for whatever reasons, are not productive. Obama calls it “spreading the wealth around.” He thinks that’s a good thing.
