Conservative Rule Number 2

Perhaps someday I'll do this in order of importance, for now I'm doing it in order of presentation. The "Can't Tax The Rich" principle (as much as we would LIKE to) seemed important in this time of economic roller coastering and elections.

Rule #2: GOVERNMENT IS THE WORST POSSIBLE SOLUTION FOR ANY PROBLEM.

Corollary: GOVERNMENT SHOULD ONLY BE USED WHEN IT IS THE ONLY SOLUTION.

This is the "last resort" principle. It is core in capitalism and the federal system of governance we have set up.

The uses of government are primarily related to FORCE. They are the entity we have submitted to and agree can literally kill us to achieve their ends. They are also dispatched to kill others not in our country, to achieve our ends.

Giving someone who has permission to kill you anything more than they absolutely need is a bad idea. The track record of government is that its only competition is other governments. They tend to do all other activities badly.

If you don't like your local Chevy dealer you can go to the next town and buy a Chevy. If you don't like Chevy you can buy a Dodge or a Ford or a Toyota. If you don't like what government has to offer you can take a number and wait.

If you don't like waiting, they'll kill or imprison you.
