Hate the Government

Here we sit in a wonderful National Forest, beside a lake built by The Salt River Project.  We got here on an interstate highway that is the envy of the world.  We have our garbage picked up by government employees.  Our kids went to school at a public school run by the local government.  A weather report created by the government is on the radio.  Our GPS works because of the government.

Right wing politicians want us all to hate the government.  Go to a country with no government.  See first hand what it is like to have no rules, no servicess, no health care, no police, no schools, and no government.  What are people thinking when they stir up distrust and hate for the government?  What would it be like if reasonable people did not get together to make reasonable rules? Republicans have been trying to bring government to a halt.  They refuse to cooperate in any way with the normal function of government.  Our highways are falling apart, our bridges are falling down, and our public schools are being destroyed. Republicans think this is a good thing.
