Bill Maher said it Best last Friday. ( yeh, I know.. he's a socialist liberal.)

"A 100 people pitch in and buy a pizza with a 100 slices, the 1st guy walks in and takes 80 of them. If you say wait a minute, you can only have 79, the cry, get your hands out of my pizza! that's socialist!"

I don't know for a fact that he's a "socialist liberal," but he is an bitter little retard...you'd do better to find some other failed celebrities to quote. Did Sean Penn not give any interviews this week?

My point is though that pure capitalism can be just as bad as socialism. I'm not really sold on laissez-faire economics, I think the federal government's power, not government's power, is what destroys economies. I don't have anything wrong with localized government.

You mean get Washington out of our lives and let the people govern? Damn...that's a great idea!

I've been saying it since the beginning, just because Washington sucks a dick doesn't mean Columbus necessarily would. For that reason I am equally against big-government Democrats and the no-government Tea Party folk. So I guess it's safe to say I could care less what party you're in...I simply think the bell curve of governmental efficiency reaches its vertex at the state level and that's what I want to work towards.

EDIT: If anything, yelling at your politicians in Columbus is much easier to do than the ones in Washington, and thus change can actually happen.
