Big government is the way an elite keeps people happy whilst maintaining control. Because the government provides so many jobs and services a huge swathe of the population ends up being beholden to the government so has to support them in almost any situation. It's basically bribery.
And who doesn't like being bribed??

If I thank you, you'll have 72 hours to find something I say to thank me back.
Otherwise, it will be removed. I don't like snobs with bad manners who try to become internet celebrities.

Lets keep the personal comments out of this please. If you want to debate the arguments that big government only exists for the lazy and society is full of idiots, do so.
