Voters dislike “government,” like what it does | Cynthia Tucker

WASHINGTON - SEPTEMBER 12: An unidentified women holds up a sign that reads 'Taxed Enough Already No More Debt!!' during a rally on the West Front of the U.S. Capitol Building on September 12, 2010 in Washington, DC. Members of the Tea Party and other activists gathered at the 'Remember In November' Rally to protest large government and rally for conservative principals nearly two months before US midterm elections.

Voters dislike “government,” like what it does | Cynthia Tucker: "A new study by The Washington Post, the Henry J. Kaiser Family Foundation and Harvard University shows that most Americans who say they want more limited government also call Social Security and Medicare “very important.” They want Washington to be involved in schools and to help reduce poverty. Nearly half want the government to maintain a role in regulating health care."

Isn't this typical of Teabagger logic? Cut the government, but not the programs that affect me. Everyone loves the government when it is helping them out. I say if you want to move to a country with no government, try Somalia. How come none of these Teabbagers complain about the billions of tax-payer dollars spent on the Military Industrial and Prison Industrial Complexes?

That is government money that directly supports two huge industries!
