Another point of the Repubs is using government money and favors to benefit certain businesses, while they say that they are keeping govenment unintrusive. It's not unintrusive to favor some companies over others with tax incentives and outright cash. There is a frightening trend for local municipalities to enthusiastically engage in this kind of behavior. Example: The Dallas Cowboys stadium in Arlington where I live. Tax money going to a billionaire.
The real question is: Is my labor (and its compensation) my own or does the state have unlimited access to take it as its own to do with as they please? If its not my own - I must actually be a slave of the state.
How could you argue otherwise? It's not as if you have a choice in the matter (except to vote for those who recognize your personal liberty and who will curtail the creeping hand of government into everything we do).
Well said I am in complete agreement!
