Hey, Huckabee:
If American's don't want to see their old and poor suffer, why does the government have to force us to redistribute our wealth to those people?
If what he says about the American people is correct, and I think it is for the most part, then the Government shouldn't have to force the behavior, and force contribution to their horrible, redundant, ineffective, invasive and invading programs.
But hey, keep saying that:
...it’s a heartless, callous, soulless type of economic conservatism that because says, ‘look, we want to cut taxes and eliminate government. If it means that elderly people don’t get their Medicare drugs, so be it. If it means little kids go without education and healthcare, so be it.’
He's throwing those "ifs" in there.
Let's try that with his stances:
On Amending the Constitution to "god's standards"
"If that means we have to hunt and kill all pagans and sinners, so be it."
On The Federal Reserve
"If that means that we devolve into two societies, one small and containing all of the riches and power, and the other a large, poor, powerless proletariat, so be it."
On the War on Drugs
"If that means that victim-less crimes continue to result in overcrowding prisons and gives the government a gateway to a police state, so be it."
We could go on.
Huckabee is a Statist tool.
