发帖数: 2324 | 1 The debate we have between GOP/Dem, comes down to this question:
What is the purpose of the government?
If you define the government's purpose is to promote "Common Good", then we
need to define two things:
1. Define "Common Good".
2. Does this mean the government can do ANYthing , I mean ANYthing, to
promote common good?
I guess most likely, we have a big difference on the definitions of "common
good", thus we have a different expectations from the government. | G***G

Government is a kind of tool which was used by one group/class/level to rule
another group/class/level.

发帖数: 2324 | 5 This might be the fact.
But if we don't like this, we want to change it.
Then, what is the proper purpose of a government?
Or do we really need a government if we decide there's no purpose of a
government?
Assume you are a powerful person, and you are to design the US society
structure, what do you think the government should look like? What is the
purpose? Or do we need it at all?
Without the answer to this question, all of our debate here is just "talking
to yourself".

usually the case. Look no further otherwise you will be disappointed.
