1. Government is an essential ingredient for any civilized society. Without structure, there would be chaos and a diminished quality of life for all. Democracy embraces government but only if it is “government by the people, for the people”. Democrats embrace this tenet of Democracy, Republicans don’t. The GOP want a much smaller government giving large corporations massive, unchecked powers.
2. Republicans want a much smaller government and more power to corporate America without any government mechanism to protect the workers, consumers or planet earth. Do Americans want their lives controlled by Wall Street, Walmart, Exxon or the Pharmaceutical industry? This would further concentrate income/wealth in America at the peril of the working class.
3. Realize there exists no nation, no developed nation in the world with a small government. Actually, the opposite exists. Those nations with large governments along with Democracy creates the best-balanced nations with economic vitality and high quality of life. Northern Europe is a prime example of such robust governments embracing Democracy. Republicans/conservatives are just fantasizing about an agrarian society with self-sufficiency among its citizens. That can never happen anywhere in America or the world. That was our history, not our future!
4. Clearly, Republicans want an authoritarian rule with limited government lead by a conservative dictator who rules via extreme Evangelical dictates. This is the dire future for America under Republican rule; a disaster for the working class, the fundamental rights of women and planet earth.
