Spending is not caring. Spending is what politicians do instead of caring. Spending more does not guarantee success. Politicians like to measure spending because it is easier than measuring actual metrics of accomplishment.

They tax when you earn a dollar, they tax you when you save it, they tax you when you invest it. If you earn a dividend, they tax it again, and if you're stupid enough to die, they steal up to half.

I don't want to abolish government. I simply want to reduce it to the size where I can drag it into the bathroom and drown it in the bathtub.

We want [government] down to the size to where it would fit in a bathtub, and then it could worry about what we were up to.

Democrats are people who raise your taxes and spend your money on weird stuff. They steal your guns, and they spit on your faith.
