This is often the tactic used on a local level whenever we conservatives oppose the latest county property/sales tax increase that will be used to expand the “good ole boy” payroll at city hall or the court house or the school board.

We will get accused of “wanting to do away with all government services” if we oppose the taxes, when in reality all we want is a slowdown in its growth rate.

Its the classic straw man argument.

If the gov't service is a total waste of money you better believe this conservative wants to "Do Away" with it!

curtailing the growth of government demonstrates an understanding of mathematics. We’re on the highway to ruin. But the left has a convenient scapegoat in Republicans.

I do want to do away with almost all government services.
what can those corrupt ,evil,unaccountable government bureaucrats do better than the free market or free individuals. any of you want to rely on a Lois Lerner running your life and doing for you better than you can for your life? multiply that 1 by the millions of transactions carried on in real time by crack businessmen and technicians who are the best in the world with 20 years experience (that's called free market capitalism). and each of those works with their own money. gov idiots work with other peoples money and so are unaccountable. any of you think that an unaccountable government bureaucrat can run the free market transactions better than the free market when a corrupt unaccountable gov idiot doesn't know its you know what from a hole in the ground much less to be able to run even 1 business or 1 individual better than those can do it themselves. a gov idiot takes months to make one decision where as the free market works in real time

governmentS spent 30 years funding fake research for a hoax called global waring. this is what government does. gov is unaccountable. the IRS ,FEC and other agencies targeted conservatives to rig the election. The EPA is shutting down coal plants for a hoax called global warming. the gov schools are a joke. HUD and gov housing are hell on earth. detroit, USSR, n korea, need more examples of why government is the problem. socialism /government can never work. NASA has also been doing years of fake global warming research. these are the functions of NASA and the IRS ?? to target and oppress conservatives. gov must be eliminated except for military, and border control
